Eye Exams
From catching eye diseases to keeping your vision prescription current, an eye exam can protect and improve your ocular health.
Drs. Gordon G. Wong and Wildon C. Wong, our Carmel Valley-area optometrists, have over 40 years of combined experience helping patients see clearly.
Protect your vision with an annual appointment at Wink Optometry & Eyewear in La Jolla and Del Mar, CA.
Notice Signs Like These? It's Time to Schedule an Eye Exam
You may be able to detect a change in vision all on your own. From headaches, to light sensitivity, to tired eyes, your body may already be telling you that you need an optometry appointment. Visit our doctors to feel better and see clearly once again.
When Do I Need an Eye Exam?
Not everyone needs to visit the optometrist yearly. Usually, if you have healthy vision, you can attend your eye exam every other year. However, our eye doctors may recommend annual appointments if you:
Have Current Prescriptions
Staying up to date on your vision prescription can prevent headaches, blurry vision, and more. Our in-house optical lab makes it easy to change out the lenses of your favorite frames after an appointment.
Have Changing Vision
Many people with glasses or contact prescriptions have stable prescriptions. If your vision has not changed in the past few years, your optometrist may recommend a longer time in between appointments.
Are Age 40+
As we get older, our vision may change. We also may be susceptible to certain ocular conditions, like age-related macular degeneration. Protect your eye health with more frequent visits after you turn 40.
Have Family History of Eye Conditions
Patients may have a family history of serious eye conditions, like glaucoma. Or, they may have a family history of diseases that can cause eye problems, such as how diabetes may result in diabetic retinopathy.
If We See Symptoms of Serious Eye Conditions Your Optometrist Will Ensure You're in Good Hands
It is possible that your eye doctor may identify a potential problem during your vision exam. Our optometrists can diagnose and treat eye conditions like dry eye, cataracts, and glaucoma.
If your optometrist detects an eye disease we cannot treat at our offices in La Jolla and Del Mar, we will still help you find care. Your eye doctor will refer you to a trusted NVISION partner for immediate treatment.
Healthy Vision Starts With Routine Eye Exams Contact Wink Optometry & Eyewear to Book Yours
Patients of all ages can benefit from regular eye exams. Those who have certain medical conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure, can also find many advantages to seeing their optometrist.
At each appointment, our Carmel Valley-area eye doctors, Gordon and Wildon Wong, will test you for eye diseases like cataracts or macular degeneration, in addition to making sure your prescription is current. After your comprehensive eye exam, you can pick out your favorite prescription sunglasses, eyeglasses, and contact lenses on-site. We can prepare them for you in our lab on the very same day.
We make contacting our La Jolla and Del Mar optometry offices for an eye exam easy as well. Message us or call:

Which Components of My Visit Can Be Eligible for Insurance Coverage?
Strong, clear vision is a necessity. As a result, insurance companies can contribute to the cost of your:
Eye Exam
Both your eye exam and your vision screening should be covered under your vision insurance.
Glasses
Whether you want to have the lenses in your old frames replaced or get new glasses entirely, insurance can assist.
Contact Lenses
Just like glasses, your contacts are important vision aids and will be eligible for coverage.
We Accept These Insurance Providers:
Our doctors aim to help you make the most of your plan. How? In the event that we diagnose an eye disease during your screening, we can also bill your medical insurance, as well as your vision insurance. If you're wondering about the types of insurance we take, options include:
"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service I received at your store recently. I visited your store with a loose Lindberg frame, and I was truly impressed by the level of assistance and care I received. Your staff went above and beyond to fix my frame. I will definitely be recommending your store to family and friends, and I look forward to continuing to support your business in the future." Manson C.

Ishmeet Kaur
Dr Wong and team is amazing and offer great explanation to my eye prescription and problems. I got my lenses from here and Dr Wong worked with me to figure out the best lens after multiple round of trials and patiently finding the right fit. They even worked me to get replacement lens for my specs as it got scratches ( informed they r under warranty).
