Medical eye exams in Bellflower

Expert care when something’s not quite right.

From dry, itchy eyes to glaucoma and diabetes, we diagnose, treat and manage eye conditions right here in Bellflower.

Overview

Routine exam vs. medical exam

A routine exam checks your vision and updates your glasses or contacts, and it’s usually covered by vision insurance.

A medical eye exam is for a specific eye health problem or a condition that affects the eyes, like dry eye, an infection, glaucoma or diabetes. It includes more detailed testing and treatment, and it’s billed to your medical insurance (including Medicare and Medi-Cal) instead of your vision plan.
