Find & Compare Optometrists in Your Area!

Optometrists examine eyes, prescribe glasses and contact lenses, and diagnose and manage common eye conditions such as dry eye, infections, and early signs of glaucoma or cataracts. People arrive here needing a routine exam, a new prescription, a contact lens fitting, or an answer about blurry vision, floaters, or a red, irritated eye that has not cleared.

Every state licenses optometrists through a board of optometry, and most boards publish a license lookup, so confirm the license before the first visit. Ask whether the exam includes dilation or retinal imaging and whether imaging costs extra. Ask if the practice accepts your vision plan or medical insurance, since a routine exam and a medical visit often bill differently. If you buy glasses there, ask for a copy of the prescription anyway; you are entitled to it. For surgery or disease that needs a physician, the office should refer you to an ophthalmologist, listed under specialty doctors.
