Do I need an appointment to order eyeglasses?

No, just bring your current prescription with you. We have a wide variety of high quality designer frames at reasonable prices. Our friendly and knowledgeable opticians will help you make your selection. Glasses are usually available about one week after ordering.

How much will my visit cost?

It depends on your health insurance and whether you pay the Student Services Fee.

A co-payment at the time of your visit may apply. Any remaining costs for your care may be billed to you at a later time. Amounts vary by insurance plan. Consult your insurance card, or contact your health insurance provider for details.

With some exceptions, students who pay the Student Services Fee receive most services at Boynton at reduced cost. See details about the Student Services Fee.
