Six fees, and what each includes
what each includes
Comprehensive eye exam, 60 min, $120. History and symptoms, refraction, binocular vision and working distance, eye health and tear film imaging, and the explanation and plan.
Children’s vision exam, ages 5–15, 50 min, $95. Games and picture targets when reading a chart is not fair, a parent in the room, and a plan that includes six-month myopia follow-up when myopia is found.
Screen-work eye assessment, 45 min, $85. Working distance, monitor height, binocular vision at that distance, and a decision about occupational lenses, a desk pair, or distance glasses.
Dry eye evaluation, 40 min, $90. History, slit lamp, tear film, lids, and a routine you can repeat at home when lid care is the finding.
Contact lens fitting, including two follow-ups, $110. The fit, insertion and removal, and two return visits after real wear. No separate duration is published for the fitting visit; the two follow-ups are part of the fee.
Follow-up check within 6 months, 20 min, $40. A return after an exam here, when those minutes are not already included in a contact lens fitting.
Frames, lenses, and receipts
frames, lenses, receipts
Frames start at $160. Lenses are quoted after the exam, once the prescription and the working distance are known. Those two sentences are the whole of the glasses price list we publish. Same prices in every language. The currency on every page is US dollars. We do not convert the six fees.
Ask for a receipt. It shows the service, the date, the clinician, and the amount in US dollars. You may pass that receipt to an insurer if your own policy accepts care outside its panel. What the policy reimburses is between you and the insurer. The amount on the receipt is the amount paid at the clinic: $120, $95, $85, $90, $110, or $40, plus any frame and any lens quote you have agreed.
The price table is the full list of clinical fees. Nothing clinical is added at the desk. If a frame costs more than the $160 starting point, you hear that figure before it is ordered, from Ines Kowalczyk.
Questions
about fees
What does the $120 comprehensive exam include?
The $120 pays for sixty minutes and five stages. Ten minutes of history and symptoms. Fifteen minutes of refraction. Ten minutes of binocular vision and working distance. Ten minutes of eye health and tear film imaging. Fifteen minutes of explanation and plan. The hour is designed so the explanation is inside the fee, not a favour added at the door.
Imaging, when the plan needs a retinal photograph, is part of that eye-health stage. Samuel Achebe runs the camera. The optometrist reads it with you. Frames and lenses are outside the $120. Frames start at $160, and lenses are quoted afterwards.
A follow-up check within six months is a separate visit: twenty minutes, $40. Ask for Dr. Elena Marsh if you want the founder for an adult binocular case. The other optometrists lead the children’s, dry-eye, and screen visits, which are the shorter fees on this page.
Why are lenses not listed as a fee?
A lens price depends on the prescription and on the distance you work at. Occupational lenses for a range such as 50–70 cm are a different order from single-vision distance lenses, and a second pair for the desk is different again. Publishing one lens price would invent a figure the exam has not earned. We quote lenses after the exam, in US dollars, and we use the same rule in every language.
Frames can start at a published figure because the frame room has a starting price. That figure is $160. Anything above it is said aloud by Ines Kowalczyk before you agree. The quote for the lenses is said in the same conversation.
You may take the prescription and think. The clinical fee you have already paid — $120, $95, $85, or whichever visit you booked — stands on its own. Glasses are a second decision. Many people make it on the day. Some come back.
When is the follow-up $40, and when is it already included?
A follow-up check within six months of an exam at this clinic is twenty minutes and $40. It is the return visit for a finding we want to see again: the six-week review in an adult case, the six-month myopia review for a child, or a question we deliberately left open at the end of the hour.
The contact lens fitting is the exception that is written on the list. That fee is $110 and includes two follow-ups. Those two visits are for judging the lens after real wear. You are not also charged $40 for them. A later check that is not one of those two, and that still falls within six months of an exam, is the $40 visit.
Children with myopia are reviewed every six months. When that review falls within six months of the last exam here, the published price of the review is $40 for twenty minutes. The original children’s exam remains $95.
Can I book a shorter visit than sixty minutes?
Yes. Sixty minutes is the comprehensive eye exam, at $120. The other clinical visits are shorter, and each has its own fee.
Children’s vision exam, ages five to fifteen: fifty minutes, $95, with Dr. Tomas Reyes. Screen-work eye assessment: forty-five minutes, $85, with Dr. Jonah Whitfield. Dry eye evaluation: forty minutes, $90, with Dr. Priya Nair. Contact lens fitting, including two follow-ups: $110, also with Dr. Nair. Follow-up check within six months: twenty minutes, $40.
Say which question you are bringing. Hana Lindgren will put the right length in the book. If the shorter visit shows that you need the comprehensive hour, we tell you and we schedule it. We would rather add the $120 visit honestly than stretch a forty-minute evaluation into work it does not contain.
Hours for all of these are Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 9:00–16:00.
Do children’s after-school slots use a different fee?
The children’s vision exam is $95 for fifty minutes in the after-school slots and at any other time that exam is booked. The slots are Monday to Friday 15:30–18:30 and Saturday 9:00–12:00. They are a way of holding the book for ages five to fifteen. They are not a second price list.
Dr. Tomas Reyes sees those visits. A parent stays. Games and picture targets are used when a letter chart is not fair. If myopia is found, follow-up is every six months, and the follow-up check within six months is twenty minutes and $40.
The clinic’s wider hours are Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 9:00–16:00. Sunday and public holidays are closed. Phone +1 555 0142 208 or email hello@hitomivision.example and give your child’s age so the slot offered is a children’s slot. Frames, if a first pair is needed, still start at $160 and are quoted separately.
Are these prices the same in every language?
Yes. The site can be read in more than one language. The fees stay in US dollars, and they stay at the six figures on this page: $120, $95, $85, $90, $110, and $40. Frames still start at $160. Lenses are still quoted after the exam. We do not convert, and we do not publish a second table.
The address is the same in every language: 2nd floor, 14 Linden Row, Northgate. The phone is +1 555 0142 208. The email is hello@hitomivision.example. The hours are Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 9:00–16:00, with Sunday and public holidays closed.
A receipt is in US dollars as well. It lists the service, the date, the clinician, and the amount you paid. Bring that receipt to an insurer if you wish. The clinic fee is the figure on this page, whichever language you used when you booked.
Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00 · Sat 9:00–16:00 · Sun and public holidays closed
