Mcdonald Optical

Vision & Medical Insurance for eye exams

At McDonald Optical, we accept most medical insurances for both medical visits and routine eye exams. We also accept Medicare for exams and can help you with reimbursement for glasses after cataract surgery.

Vision Insurance

At McDonald Optical, we believe that you deserve to be able to choose the glasses, including frames and lenses, that best meet your needs and desires. Since vision insurance companies limit frame selection and lens products that can be used.  We are now open-access providers and can even submit your benefits for you this includes but is not limited to Avesis, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Spectera, and VSP.

We offer discounts and out-of-network forms to those who have vision plans; please ask us how we can help you use your benefits to get “Eyewear As Individual As You.”

Flexible Spending Accounts

Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees.  Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans.  These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery.  Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program.  FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.

Other Payment Options

At McDonald Optical, we understand that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers.  We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision.  We accept various forms of payment and can discuss financing options with you before any examination.
