-L.A.

I’ve been going to Washington Eye Care ever since the last company I used abruptly closed and every experience I’ve had with them has been a pleasant one. Furthermore, each time I go here the establishment is always clean and tidy but more importantly I can always find a nice pair of stylish glasses that suits my needs. !!

My experience at Washington Eyecare has always been positive. The doctor has always been helpful during the eye exams. The staff is helpful with assisting with glasses and insurance.

Frequently asked questions

What do eye doctors check for during eye exams?

Annual eye exams do more than update your prescription. They provide valuable insight into your overall health. During a comprehensive eye exam in Washington, DC, our eye care team can detect early signs of conditions like: 

  • Glaucoma 
  • Macular degeneration 
  • Diabetic retinopathy 
  • Cataracts 
  • Dry eye syndrome 
  • Systemic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes 

            How often should you get an eye exam?

            We recommend scheduling an eye exam every one to two years to monitor for vision changes and detect early signs of disease. More frequent exams may be necessary if you: 

            • Wear glasses or contact lenses 
            • Are over 60 
            • Have chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure 
            • Have a family history of eye disease 
            • Have experienced an eye injury or surgery 
            • Are of African American or Hispanic descent, as these groups have a higher risk of developing certain eye conditions 

                      How long does an eye exam take? 

                      Most comprehensive eye exams take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your needs. We’ll assess your prescription and eye health, then discuss recommendations that fit your lifestyle, vision needs, and budget. Contact lens fittings may require extra time for detailed measurements to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal vision correction. 

                      Insurance & payment options 

                      Before your eye exam in Washington, DC, we recommend verifying your insurance coverage. We accept all major vision and medical insurance plans, excluding Cigna.
