Choosing an optometrist in Encinitas
When choosing an eye doctor in Encinitas:
- Licence. Optometrists are licensed by the California State Board of Optometry, searchable through the Department of Consumer Affairs.[4]
- Exam type. Vision plans often cover routine exams, while medical eye problems are billed to health insurance.
- Contact lenses need a separate fitting.
- Retail or independent. Retail-attached optometrists offer convenience; independent practices may offer specialty care such as dry-eye treatment or myopia control.
Common questions
- How often should I get an eye exam?
- Many adults are advised to have an eye exam every one to two years, and more often with diabetes, glaucoma risk or changing vision. Children should be checked before school and regularly after.
- What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
- Optometrists (O.D.) examine eyes, prescribe glasses and contacts, and treat many eye conditions. Ophthalmologists (M.D.) are physicians who also perform eye surgery.
- Does vision insurance cover contact lens exams?
- Often only partly. A contact lens fitting is usually billed separately from a routine eye exam.
- Can an optometrist treat dry eye?
- Yes. Many optometrists diagnose and treat dry eye with prescription drops, in-office procedures and home care.
