Urgent care questions

Should I book online for an urgent problem?

No. Text or call us. Someone with something in their eye shouldn’t be filling out a form.

Is an urgent visit billed differently?

An urgent eye problem is a medical concern, so it’s usually billed to medical insurance rather than a vision plan. Bring both cards if you have them.

What if it’s after hours?

Go to the nearest emergency room or an eye urgent care center.
