How Often Should You Have an Eye Exam?

For most adults, eye exams are recommended every one to two years. If you wear corrective lenses, have a family history of eye disease, or are over 60, annual exams are best. Kids and teens should also get checked yearly to support healthy visual development. Even if your vision feels “fine,” an exam can catch early signs of eye strain or medical issues before they become serious.

Paying for Your Eye Exam

Many of our partner doctors accept major insurance plans. If you don’t have coverage, don’t worry — our Fair Value Plan gives you access to great eyewear at transparent pricing; no vision plan required. Our goal is to make high-quality eye care affordable and accessible to everyone in the San Antonio area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Exams in San Antonio

 

How much does an eye exam cost in San Antonio?

The cost of an eye exam in San Antonio depends on the provider, but most comprehensive exams fall in the $75–$150 range without insurance. Since [tokens name=’practice’] refers you to trusted local doctors, we recommend calling ahead to confirm exact pricing. If you’re uninsured, ask us about our Fair Value Plan — it helps make glasses and care more affordable.

Do I need an eye exam every year?

Yes — for many people, yearly exams are ideal. Adults should get an eye exam every 1–2 years, but annual exams are especially important if you wear glasses or contacts, are over 60, or have a family history of eye disease. Kids and teens also benefit from yearly check-ups.

Can I get an eye exam without insurance?

Absolutely. [tokens name=’practice’] works with local eye doctors who accept self-pay patients. If you don’t have vision insurance, ask us about our Fair Value Plan — it helps you get the care you need without breaking your budget.

The staff is excellent. Kayla was super helpful. I needed assistance with the temple ends on a vintage pair of Rayban glasses. She replaced them perfectly. She also adjusted them to fit my face better than they were prior. I will return to Dietz-McLean for all of my optical requirements. Thanks Kayla for the top notch service.
