We take most medical and vision insurance plans. Please call us at (757) 426-2020 and one of our patient care coordinators will evaluate your insurance plan’s coverage for your eye exams. Our offices utilize centralized software that allow us to locate real-time data about your coverage.

For routine eye exams, please call us at (757) 426-2020 and we'll let you know our availability for routine appointments the same day.  Sometimes there are cancellations, which may allow for us to see you. For urgent medical eye issues, we reserve several appointments every day to accommodate these needs.   Please call us and we’ll work to find you a timely appointment. We feel your medical eye care needs are better served at Coastal Vision than at urgent care facilities.
