"I listen to you, examine you, and discuss with you your condition and your concerns, not just to treat you, but to ensure your piece of mind."
Our services include routine and emergency eye exams, treatments and surgery for eye infections, injuries, glaucoma, cataracts, corneal diseases, BOTOX®, and laser refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK).

The Litscher Eye Center takes pride in its staff of highly qualified, experienced individuals who will serve you with care and respect. We have well trained ophthalmic technicians to assist in your exams, as well as specialized front desk and billing personnel.
We strive to participate with most insurance plans. We ask that you verify your coverage with your insurance company prior to your visit. At each visit, you will be asked to sign a financial responsibility form and present your insurance card. Please be aware, however, that there are some costs not covered by all insurances. These costs may include:
- Co-Pays – Most insurances require you to pay a small fee at your visit.
- Deductibles - Many insurances require you to pay up to a certain amount each year before benefits starts.
- Refraction – This measurement for eyeglass lenses is not considered a medical service and may not be covered by insurance - the fee is $25.00. Some vision plans do cover this.
- Other non covered services – These are services which insurances do not typically cover. Some of these services include contact lens services, LASIK Vision Correction, and Prespyopia-correcting lens implants.
Some insurances include a "routine eye exam" or "vision coverage" benefit. Please check if your insurance includes this benefit. If so, we will need to know how often you are eligible for this benefit (e.g. every 12-24 months or within a calendar year) and the last time it was used. While this benefit can be used to cover routine exams, exams which are meant to check on a medical condition may require a referral from your primary care doctor.
Your insurance may require a referral from you primary care doctor to authorize insurance coverage. We urge you to call you primary doctor's office for this referral in advance. Without the required referral, you would be responsible for the exam fee.
