At Spinak Medical Eye Center, we understand that you need to know if insurance will cover your visit or procedures. We'll work with you to get the most coverage possible under the various plans. Please understand however that insurance plans change and we are not always advised of these changes. Please note that LASIK is considered an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance.

If it's your first visit or a yearly exam, please allow extra time as the doctors will perform a comprehensive exam that involves testing and perhaps dilation. Please allow at least 2 hours. Follow up exams do not normally require as much time as initial visits. We wish we could assure you that you wouldn't have to wait, but our eye doctors want to give the best care possible to our patients. To do so, we spend time listening to our patients and answering their questions. Sometimes, this causes wait room times to increase.

The board certified ophthalmologists at the Spinak Medical Eye Center carefully check the eye and consider a patient's overall medical history when evaluating dry eye.

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve. While there are different types of glaucoma with varying characteristics, it is usually diagnosed when someone has a combination of high eye pressure and damage to the optic nerve. It can lead to loss of peripheral vision, and if untreated, blindness. To properly evaluate a patient for glaucoma, the board certified ophthalmologists at Spinak Medical Eye Center will check a number of things including eye pressure.The optic nerve is examined when the eyes are dilated or it can be evaluated with a special scan called an OCT.
