Yes, we do accept CareCredit as payment and can also help you with the process if you would like to apply for CareCredit.

Yes but only if there is a medical issue present such as cataracts, dry eye, allergies, diabetes, glaucoma, or other eye problems beyond just needing glasses.  However you may be responsible for the part of the exam called the refraction (the determination of your eyeglass prescription) as it is generally not covered by most health plans.
