Patient Center

We are committed to providing you with the best possible eye care experience. Here, you'll find valuable information to help you prepare for your visit and make the most of your time with us.

Our comprehensive assessment goes beyond a standard eye exam. We focus on evaluating the relationship between the eyes and the brain which includes:

Binocular Vision: How our eyes work as a team. This tests eye alignment, eye movement, and convergence.

Visual Processing: How our brains process visual information. This includes following moving objects, recognizing patterns, visual memory, and depth perception.

The Neuro-Visual exam is beneficial for individuals with visual challenges like double vision, eye strain, trouble with reading, dizziness, and motion sickness.

The goal is to identify and address the visual issues to enhance quality of life and visual efficiency.

At Vision & Balance, we want to ensure that your visit is as smooth and productive as possible. To help you prepare for your appointment, here's a guide on what to expect.

FAQs

  • Optometry focuses on general eye care, vision correction, and the diagnosis and management of common eye conditions. Neuro-Optometry specializes in providing vision care for individuals with neurological conditions and injuries that affect the visual system. Neuro-optometry plays a crucial role in helping patients with complex visual challenges regain and improve visual function and quality of life.

  • Our initial and progress evaluations are scheduled for a two-hour appointment. The first hour is dedicated to pretesting, during which our experienced optometric technicians will assess your visual baselines or post-baselines while also documenting any symptoms and your ocular health history.

    The second hour is the Neuro-Visual Evaluation with Dr. Polec. During this comprehensive evaluation, we thoroughly examine your visual system to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique needs. Based on the assessment, Dr. Polec will create a personalized treatment plan aimed at enhancing your visual function and improving your overall quality of life.

  • Because of Vision & Balance’s advanced testing and procedures, many exam elements are not covered under standard vision and health insurance plans. Most often, CPT codes used for Vision & Balance procedures are not covered under standard health, vision, or Medicare insurance plans.

    Vision & Balance does provide itemized invoices that list procedures and diagnosis codes. These invoices are able to be submitted through your insurance carrier for evaluation and complete or partial reimbursement depending on the plan coverage.
