About Our Practice
Change Font Size
Welcome to Lehigh Eye Specialists. Our practice specializes in the medical and surgical care of ophthalmic diseases and abnormalities. With extensive experience in their respective areas of expertise, our fellowship-trained ophthalmologists are able to provide you with "one-stop" specialty ophthalmic care.
Office visits are scheduled by appointment only. Please keep in mind that it takes approximately one hour for your complete eye examination, which usually includes taking a history, checking your vision and intraocular pressures, slit-lamp examination, and dilated fundus examination. Depending upon the nature of your problem, additional tests and/or procedures might be recommended. This could extend the duration of your visit.
*Please be advised that as specialists, we do not perform routine/general eye examinations or prescribe glasses/contact lenses.
For your convenience most tests and procedures are performed in our office and often, on the same day as your visit. Although we make every attempt to remain on schedule, we are sometimes delayed due to emergencies. (We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding). Because your eyes will be dilated when you leave the office, we recommend that you have a driver. A report of your visit will be sent to your referring doctor.
Billing Information
We participate with a wide range of insurance carriers and will be glad to submit your claims for you. Office visit charges are expected at the time of service, unless other arrangements have been made. Feel free to call our office prior to your visit to have your questions answered or to see if we participate with your insurance. Please be sure to bring your insurance cards with you to your visit. We will need to copy them for our records. If you are in a managed care program it is your responsibility to obtain a referral from your primary care physician.
