At Falcon Vision, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to feel comfortable and confident in your eye care. Below are answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Exam Questions
Do I need to pay more if I have astigmatism?
No, there is no additional charge for astigmatism.
Do I need to pay more if I get dilated?
No, dilation is included in your exam. However, if we detect a health issue, we may need to perform an expanded exam, which has a separate fee.
Do I have to get dilated?
No, we offer advanced imaging technology that allows us to examine your eyes without the need for dilation, so your vision won’t be blurry for hours.
Do I have to pay more for my exam if I wear bifocals or progressive lenses?
No, your exam price remains the same. However, premium progressive lenses designed for greater comfort and clarity do have a higher price point.
Contact Lens Questions
What does a contact lens exam include?
We take your glasses prescription and provide a pair of trial contact lenses to assess your vision and make adjustments if needed. The test pair is yours to keep and is included in the fitting price.
Can I sleep in my contacts?
No, we strongly advise against sleeping in contacts to prevent infections and avoid potential permanent vision loss.
Prescription & Eye Health Questions
How long do I have to make changes to my prescription?
You have 60 days from your exam date to make adjustments.
Can I extend my expired prescription?
No, once your prescription expires, we must reassess the health of your eyes with a full exam.
Why can’t I use an expired prescription?
Filling a prescription beyond one year can be risky. Annual eye exams help ensure that your vision issues aren’t caused by underlying health conditions.
How often should I get an eye exam?
A yearly exam is recommended, but we often see patients multiple times a year for different eye concerns.
