Yearly Eye Exams Diagnose Nearsightedness Early in Children

Do not use this office. I came in for an appointment today regarding a spots around my eye. They tried to get me to do an eye exam which is something I do not need. I explained that I was not there to get a vision check but to figure out if surgery was needed to correct spots around my eyes (cosmetic reasons). The lady explained that the eye exam would be billed to my insurance and I explained my deductible has not been met and I’d definitely be paying for something I did not need. I ended up leaving without a consult. Avoid this office at all cost! My name is Kayla Wampler using a friends account to make this google post
