What to look for when choosing a optometrist in Philadelphia

• Exam versus eyewear. Ask what the exam costs on its own and whether you are free to take the prescription elsewhere for glasses or contacts.
• Vision plan and insurance. Confirm they take your vision plan, and whether medical eye problems are billed to your health insurance instead.
• Contact lens fitting fees. A contact lens exam usually costs more than a glasses exam. Ask for both numbers up front.
