Frequently Asked Questions — Optometrists in Cary
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist in Cary?
An optometrist (OD) performs eye exams, prescribes glasses and contacts, and diagnoses and treats common eye conditions. An ophthalmologist (MD) is a medical doctor who can perform surgery (LASIK, cataract removal, glaucoma treatment) and manages complex eye diseases. For routine vision care and glasses, an optometrist is appropriate and typically less expensive.
Does my vision insurance cover an optometrist visit in Cary?
VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, and Humana Vision are the major plans. Most cover one comprehensive eye exam per year with a $10–$25 copay, plus an allowance for frames ($130–$200) and lenses. Without vision insurance, a comprehensive exam in Cary typically costs $100–$175. Contact lens fittings are usually billed separately.
How much do glasses cost in Cary?
Frames typically range $50–$400+. Lenses add $50–$500+ depending on your prescription, lens material (polycarbonate, high-index), and coatings (anti-reflective, blue-light, photochromic). Many independent optometrists in Cary can match online retailer pricing if you ask. Warby Parker, Costco Optical, and Zenni (online) typically offer lower prices on frames.
How often should I get an eye exam in NC?
Adults ages 18–60 with no vision problems or risk factors: every 1–2 years. Adults 61+: annually. Children: first exam by age 1 per the American Optometric Association, again at age 3, before starting school, and then annually. Anyone with diabetes, glaucoma, high myopia, or family history of eye disease should be seen annually regardless of age.
How are the optometrists on this page ranked?
Rankings use a transparent algorithm: star rating (35%), review volume (30%), customer sentiment (20%), profile completeness (10%), and availability (5%). Featured Partner listings have paid for enhanced visibility but must still earn their position through real customer reviews — sponsored listings are clearly labeled.
