Frequently Asked Questions — Optometrists in San Leandro
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist in San Leandro?
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 San Leandro?
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 San Leandro typically costs $100–$175. Contact lens fittings are usually billed separately.
How much do glasses cost in San Leandro?
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 San Leandro 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 CA?
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.
