Made an appointment, got a confirmation e-mail, went thru a lot of issues to be able to make the appointment, when I got there, they had it all wrong, showed them the confirmation email, but was basically, sorry, cant see you today. Later!!

I was informed today during the appointment reminder I would be charged the $40.00 office visit fee, and an unknown amount for "refractory charge" if they needed to do this procedure. The refractory exam is the part of an eye exam where the patient looks through alternate lenses and the doctor asks which lens looks looks clearest so they can determine the correct prescription for glasses. In other words, if you need glasses IS part of the exam! If you needed to be examined to see if you were having heart murmurs would YOU pay an additional unknown fee because the cardiologist used a stethoscope to see your heart sounded normal, vs murmur, skipped beat, or if he asked you about chest pain? I am a retired RN. I have lived in four states. This is the FIRST time I have EVER been told there is an extra charge for the refractory part of a routine eye exam. HOW, pray tell can the doctor tell what the prescription numbers are without this test??? Look it up by closing the copy, paste and… link below to go to the National Institute for Health site below ! I cancelled the Appointment! Look up refractory exam on the nih (dot) gov website and read it for yourself. I had the link here but Vitals thinks its "profanity".
