Routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses are often covered under vision plans provided by employers or purchased separately. In contrast, medical insurance may apply when you’re seen for eye-related conditions such as dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma, or issues linked to diabetes or high blood pressure. In these cases, your medical insurance will be billed for your exam, even if a vision plan is also active.
Understanding insurance benefits can be complex. Our team is here to help guide you through the process and provide clear, compassionate support. To help maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses, we recommend bringing your vision and health-insurance information when you schedule your appointment. We are happy to help, but we also encourage patients to contact their insurance provider directly for specifics about their coverage.
Mirkin Vision offers flexible payment options to support your eye-care needs with convenience and ease. We require payment at the time services are rendered to maintain our high standard of care. For your convenience, we accept multiple forms of payment, including cash, check (with valid ID), debit cards, and major credit cards such as MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.
Unexpected eye-care needs can happen at any time. To help make treatment more manageable, we offer financing options like in-house payment plans and partnerships with CareCredit. It allows you to apply online in just minutes and break your payment into easy monthly installments. This can be especially helpful during unexpected illness or injury.
Payments are due when services are provided, and our team is happy to guide you through your billing process. If you use insurance, bringing your insurance details before your visit helps us maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket costs. Combining insurance support with our payment options ensures your experience is smooth and stress-free.
Reaching out to Mirkin Vision is the first step toward clearer, more comfortable vision. Whether you need to schedule an eye exam, ask a question about our services, or receive assistance with insurance or eyewear, our friendly team is here to help. You can call or text us anytime, and we’ll guide you through the next steps with care and professionalism. For added convenience, you may also visit our office during business hours to speak with our staff in person. We look forward to providing you with the attentive, personalized eye care you deserve.

Mirkin Vision’s Online Store offers a curated selection of trusted eye-care essentials you can purchase from the comfort of your home. Rather than a full line of eyewear, our online shop focuses on high-quality products for contact lens wearers and dry eye relief. Here you’ll find contact lenses from leading brands like Acuvue, Alcon, and CooperVision, along with solutions, lubricating drops, and supplements designed to support long-term eye health.
Because our online offerings are intentionally limited, each product is selected to help you maintain comfort, clarity, and consistency in your daily vision routine. Whether you need replacement lenses, relief for dry or irritated eyes, or nutritional support like vitamins, our store provides quick access to reliable products recommended by your eye-care team.
Ordering is simple—choose your items, complete checkout, and have them delivered directly to your door. If you need clarification about product use or compatibility with your prescription, our team remains available to assist you. For eyewear needs beyond online purchases, scheduling an in-office visit helps ensure a perfect fit and personalized recommendations.
Our Online Store isn’t meant to replace hands-on guidance—it’s a helpful extension of your eye-care program. Explore our trusted selection for convenience between visits, helping you keep your eyes comfortable and supported daily.
