Benefits of Professional Eye Care
Regular visits to eye professionals can help detect eye conditions early, ensuring timely intervention and care for vision health. With every comprehensive examination, patients receive insights into their overall wellness, as the eyes often reveal signs of systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
A comprehensive eye exam goes beyond checking visual acuity; it’s an integral part of maintaining one’s overall health. Our approachable staff at Carrboro Family Vision includes thorough evaluations that may uncover hidden issues before they escalate, helping preserve not only your sight but also contributing to your general well-being.

How can I make an appointment?
Call our office at (919) 929-7111, or book your appointment online!
How long does a well-vision exam take?
You will want to allow about an hour for your well-vision exam. If you choose to stay after the appointment to pick out new glasses, you may be here a little longer. Medical appointments can vary, but typically take around 45 minutes to an hour.
Is there any paperwork I need to fill out ahead of my appointment?
If you are a new patient, we do have some paperwork for you to complete, including medical history, general patient information, and a standard HIPAA privacy policy. Completing this beforehand saves time at the appointment and gets you back to see the doctor more quickly. A link with our forms will be sent to you after making your appointment.
What should I bring to my appointment?
In addition to the completed paperwork, please bring your insurance card with you to the appointment. If you wear glasses or prescription sunglasses, we ask that you bring them as well. If you are a contact lens wearer, please bring your contact lenses and a copy of your prescription. Knowing the exact brand and powers makes the contact lens exam easier and more straightforward.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an in-network provider for many vision insurance companies, including EyeMed, Envolve, and Community Eyecare. We also accept most medical plans that have vision on them, like Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, and most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Please give us a call so we can provide you with an accurate quote.
Why should I have a well-vision, and how often is it necessary?
It’s important to have a well-vision exam once a year not only to check your glasses and contact lens prescription, but also to monitor the overall health of your eyes.
Does your office provide care for patients with medical eye conditions?
Absolutely. In addition to routine vision exams, our doctors see and monitor patients for medical eye conditions like diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, cataracts, conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome, ocular allergies, macular degeneration, and more.
Do I need an appointment to come in and order glasses?
No appointment needed! Our optical shop is always open for walk-ins during our regular business hours. Come in any time for all your glasses-related needs.
