Free Vision Screenings:

Free vision screenings at The Eye Institute (Oaklane location) are available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. 

When coming in for a free vision screening, enter our Oaklane facility and tell the security officer you would like to have a vision screening. The officer will then summon personnel to assist you.

What is a Vision Screening?

A vision screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye examination. A vision screening will include testing visual acuity, screening for glaucoma and a general eye health examination. Since this is not a full exam, you will not receive a prescription for glasses. The vision screening may reveal problems that require attention, and if so, you will be counseled on how to proceed with your eye care.

Is there a fee for the screening?

No. However, if you choose to schedule a full exam at The Eye Institute after the screening, there will be a fee for the examination, assuming your insurance coverage does not have a vision care benefit.

How long will the screening take?

The screening process takes approximately 15 minutes. Wait time may depend upon the number of people waiting to be screened.

Will follow-up care be available?

Yes. Screening participants should return to their optometrist for a comprehensive examination. If you do not have a doctor, you can schedule an appointment at any one of the three Eye Institute locations.
