What should I bring to my exam?
Your current glasses (or contact lenses), your insurance card, a list of current medications, and the name of your primary care doctor. If you've completed our online forms beforehand, there's nothing else to fill out.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans. Please view our list of accepted insurances above, or call one of our Bella Vision offices to verify.
Can I book online, or do I need to call?
Both work. Our online appointment walks you through choosing your location, doctor, and preferred time. If you'd rather speak to someone — or if your situation is medical and time-sensitive — call the office nearest you during business hours.
We are unable to guarantee walk-in availability. We recommend calling your nearest location to schedule a time that works for you.
How long will my appointment take?
Plan for 45 to 60 minutes for a comprehensive exam. New patients and dilation add a bit more time. If you're choosing frames afterward, allow yourself an additional 20+ minutes.
How long does a contact lens fitting take?
A standard contact lens fitting typically takes 30-45 minutes. Specialty fittings (such as SynergEyes hybrid lenses) may require 60-90 minutes plus a follow-up appointment.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major vision and medical insurance — see our list above. For employer plans like Microsoft through EyeMed, we'll verify benefits before your visit and review exactly what's covered. If you don't see your plan, call your nearest office and we'll check for you.
Yes, we see children ages 5 years old and up. All of our doctors offer comprehensive care, contact lens fitting & training, and myopia management with Stellest lenses — a non-surgical approach to slowing nearsightedness in children.
What if I don't have insurance?
Bella Vision keeps a complete pricing reference for self-pay patients — exams, medical visits, lenses, frames, and contacts. Stop in or call your nearest location, and we'll walk you through what each option costs before you commit to anything.
What if I need a prescription copy, or need to re-order?
Call your office and we'll provide a copy of your most recent prescription. If you have a valid prescription, we can process contact lens orders over the phone.
How often should I get an eye exam?
For most healthy adults, every one to two years. Children, anyone who wears contact lenses, and people with diabetes, glaucoma, or a family history of eye disease should be seen every year. If you notice a change in your vision, don't wait for your next visit - come in.
Yes. We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye, allergies, and eyelid disease, with a plan tailored to the underlying cause rather than a one-size-fits-all drop. If your eyes feel gritty, watery, burning, or tired, we can help.
Do you screen for and manage eye diseases like glaucoma?
Yes. We provide glaucoma and retinal care - eye-pressure measurement, visual-field testing, OCT imaging, and long-term monitoring - so problems are caught early and managed over time.
Do you do diabetic eye exams?
Yes. We provide dilated diabetic eye exams with a full retinal evaluation, and we coordinate the results with your primary care provider so your whole care team stays informed.
Can I be seen for a red eye, infection, or injury?
Yes. We handle medical eye visits - red eye, infections, styes, foreign bodies, and injuries - often the same day. Call your nearest office and we'll get you in.
Do you fit hard-to-fit or specialty contact lenses?
Yes. Along with daily, multifocal, and astigmatism lenses, we fit specialty lenses - scleral, Kerasoft, Duette, and Ultrahealth - for keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, and eyes that other offices could not fit.
We co-manage LASIK. That means a thorough pre-surgical evaluation, a referral to a trusted surgeon, and all of your post-operative follow-up care here with us. The surgery itself is done by the surgeon we refer you to.
