At Laria Eye Care in Miami we provide both medical and routine eye care and accept a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs. There are different plans widely available in our area.
Medical Insurance plans are used for eye emergencies, injuries, and diseases – for example, Conjunctivitis (pink eye), dry eye, allergies, Glaucoma, and foreign bodies.
Vision insurance plans, like dental plans, are usually offered in addition to medical insurance plans and are used for routine eye exams, glasses and contact lenses. Benefits vary by plan but in general have copays that range between $10 and $25 dollars for routine eye exams and members have an allowance of around $100 to $300 to purchase eyewear or contact lenses.
