Back to school eye exams in Appleton

The same law also requires optometrists and doctors to work to reduce or waive the cost of childhood eye exams for parents who might have difficulty paying.
Eye exams for seniors
Older adults have an increased risk of vision loss and certain eye diseases. Regular eye exams help detect problems early so they can be treated effectively. Our optometrists provide affordable eye exams for seniors and accept Medicare Part B for vision care.

Using insurance
for an eye exam
Wisconsin Vision in Appleton accepts most vision plans including VSP. Your vision insurance covers routine eye exams and may pay for part of your eyeglasses or contact lenses if needed. Flexible spending accounts can be used to pay for eye exams and eyewear.
If you have a medical condition affecting your eye health (such as pink eye, glaucoma, or macular degeneration) your medical insurance may also be billed. We’re happy to do an insurance check and explain your benefits.

Eye Exam Frequently Asked Questions
Is an eye exam at Wisconsin Vision cheap?
Eye exams offered at Wisconsin Vision are affordable for adults, children and patients with special needs. If you have specific questions regarding our eye exam pricing, contact our Appleton store today.
Does the Appleton location accept walk-in appointments?
Walk-in and same-day appointments are accepted only if there is availability around scheduled appointments. Please schedule an appointment online if you want to see an eye doctor the same day you come into the store.
If my child had their eyes tested at school, do I still have to bring them to the eye doctor?
A brief screening at school is not the same as a comprehensive kids eye exam from the eye doctor. Kids need a full screening of their eyes and vision to find and treat problems as early as possible. Contact our eye center today if you have any questions.
Does the Appleton location offer pediatric eye exams?
Kids eye exams are offered at all Wisconsin Vision locations, and are performed by a licensed optometrist. We are sure to offer the most affordable eye exams to all of our patients. Schedule your child’s next eye screening online today.
