Our doctors routinely perform Manifest Refractions. The eye doctor can determine if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism (asymmetrical cornea), or presbyopia (inability to focus on objects that are close to you). The extent of vision difficulty can be determined. The information obtained from a refraction test helps provide the correct prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses for each person. It also will determine if you need bifocals. There is an additional fee for this service and it may not be covered by some insurance plans.

It's OK to perform tests todayI will reschedule these testsI will follow the doctor's recommendation

Professional fees are due upon completion of services and are not refundable. Thank you for the privilege of allowing John E. Downing, MD PSC to take care of your eye health and vision needs.
