Most of our doctors see children over the age of six depending on the specialty. For children younger than six, we can refer you to a local pediatric ophthalmologist.
Please allow several hours for your first eye examination. If you are coming for a laser or surgery evaluation, please allow three or more hours for your examination. This amount of time is usually needed for the screening procedures, diagnostic examination and any required pre-surgical testing. Patients who are scheduled to have their surgery performed on the same day as their evaluation should anticipate spending most of the day at the clinic. This will allow time for all the necessary testing as well as the surgery.
Carolina Eye does not accept walk-in patients unless it is a medical emergency.
Patients can call for their own appointments and do not need a doctor’s referral to be seen at Carolina Eye. However, some insurance plans may require a referral. Major plans that require prior approval include Carolina ACCESS Medicaid and TRICARE Prime. Please check with your insurance company to determine what, if any, requirements they have for obtaining care. It is the patient’s responsibility to contact their provider and obtain the necessary approval documentation and to bring this documentation to the visit.
