- Do you offer payment options?
- Yes. Payment options are available, including CareCredit where applicable.

- Want the fastest clarity?

What an Evaluation Costs
Developmental Vision Evaluation
$550
An evaluation of about 100 minutes for children, teens and college students, to determine whether the visual system is behind challenges in reading, learning or behavior.
Binocular Vision Evaluation
$350
For adults and older students whose symptoms — eye strain, headaches, double vision, reading fatigue — point to how the two eyes work together.
Amblyopia / Strabismus Evaluation
$250
For an eye turn or a "lazy eye", including our youngest patients.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
$150
Eye health and prescription — the routine exam, without the developmental testing above.
If you are not sure which evaluation fits best, schedule a brief call or start with our symptom checklist and we will guide you to the right next step. Therapy, if it is recommended, is planned and priced separately after the evaluation — you will know the expected structure and cost before you commit to anything. For a general sense of what changes the price of a program, read how much vision therapy costs and what changes the price, and what a developmental vision evaluation covers. On why coverage is patchy in the first place, and what the trials do and do not support, see the case for expanding access to vision therapy.
Insurance & Out-of-Network Reimbursement
We are out of network, which means payment is due at the time of service. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit for reimbursement.
On medical insurance, Vision & Learning Center is out of network on all plans. If a medical diagnosis is found during your child's evaluation, we provide all procedure and diagnosis codes for you to submit for possible reimbursement. On vision insurance, we are an open-access provider on all plans for comprehensive eye exams: we are not in-network, but we can provide services and materials and still use your benefits — call the office to ask about your coverage. Families without vision benefits are welcome as cash-pay patients at the fees above.
How It Typically Works

Your plan processes the claim
Reimbursement, if any, is based on your out-of-network benefits.
What to Ask Your Insurance Company
- Do I have out-of-network benefits for optometric services?
- Is pre-authorization required?
- What is my out-of-network deductible and coinsurance?
- How is reimbursement calculated (allowed amount)?
- Are there limits on the number of visits or dollar caps?
- What documentation is required for reimbursement?
Because every plan is different, we cannot quote exact reimbursement amounts in advance — but we will provide the documentation families typically need to submit.
Ways to Pay
We want families to feel informed and supported. Payment is due at the time of service, and we offer options to make care more manageable.
Credit / Debit / HSA Card Payments
We accept major credit and debit cards, and many families use HSA/FSA funds where applicable. If you prefer to pay in full, we offer a 5–10% discount on the vision therapy session portion.
Pay-in-full discounts do not apply to CareCredit, and may not apply to equipment packages or doctor fees.
Payment Plans
Prefer to spread payments out? We offer structured payment plans for vision therapy programs, and can extend the payment schedule beyond the therapy timeline to keep monthly payments as manageable as possible. A card is kept on file for scheduled payments.
Step Up for Students — FES-UA
We accept the Florida Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA), administered by Step Up For Students, for eligible families. Funding must be released before the 1st of the month for scheduled sessions, and we keep a card on file for any funding gaps.
CareCredit
CareCredit financing is available for families who prefer extended monthly payments. No-interest promotional options may be available depending on the plan selected, with longer-term options also available.
Questions about a specific payment option — HSA/FSA rules, a Step Up for Students disbursement, or how a payment plan would be structured for your program? Call (561) 462-1245 or send us a message and we will walk you through it. For the full list of what we accept and how insurance applies to a comprehensive eye exam, see Payment Options.
Vision Therapy Program Agreements (Sample)
For transparency, these are the structures of our most common vision therapy programs, so families can see what a typical program looks like before an evaluation.
18-Session Program
One in-office session per week (45 minutes) for an estimated 18 sessions. Includes a mid-program progress evaluation, a final evaluation, and structured home practice expectations.
24-Session Program
One in-office session per week (45 minutes) for an estimated 24 sessions. Includes a mid-program progress evaluation, a final evaluation, and structured home practice expectations.
48-Session Program
Two in-office sessions per week (30 minutes each) for an estimated 48 sessions. Includes a final evaluation and structured home practice expectations.
Your recommended program — and the final agreement — is based on your evaluation findings and individualized care plan. Program length is an estimate and may change based on goals, progression and home practice consistency.
Ask us for a copy of the sample agreement for any of these programs — call (561) 462-1245 or send us a message and we will send it over.
Documents are subject to periodic updates. Please refer to the version provided at enrollment.
The Money-Back Guarantee
We offer a money-back guarantee when families fully follow the program as prescribed. If you meet the program requirements and we do not observe the expected progress, we will review your case and honor the guarantee in accordance with the terms of your signed agreement. The requirements are:
- Attend scheduled therapy sessions consistently (with allowed make-ups per policy).
- Complete the home program as assigned, and track completion.
- Use prescribed lenses, patching or other recommendations as directed (if applicable).
- Communicate barriers early so we can adjust the plan and support follow-through.
Common Questions About Cost
Do you take insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Payment is due at the time of service. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit for reimbursement — we provide the documentation families typically need. See how reimbursement works →
Can you tell me what my insurance will reimburse?
Reimbursement depends on your specific plan and benefits, so we cannot quote exact amounts in advance. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can provide documentation to support your claim submission.
What is the difference between a routine eye exam and a developmental vision evaluation?
A routine eye exam primarily checks eye health and prescription needs. A developmental vision evaluation assesses how the visual system functions in real-world tasks — how the eyes track, focus and team — especially under reading, school and screen demands. See what an evaluation includes →
Which evaluation should we schedule if we are not sure?
Start with our symptom checklist or schedule a brief call. We will guide you to the evaluation that best matches your concerns.
Can my child have an evaluation if they already wear glasses?
Yes. Glasses correct prescription, but many children still struggle if functional vision skills — tracking, focusing, eye teaming — are inefficient. An evaluation helps identify what is going on.
Can I use HSA/FSA?
Many families use HSA/FSA funds when eligible under their plan. If you are unsure, check your plan rules.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We offer multiple payment options, including structured payment plans that can extend beyond the therapy timeline to keep payments manageable. See payment options →
Do you offer a pay-in-full discount?
Yes. We offer a 5–10% discount for paying in full. It applies to the vision therapy session portion, does not apply to CareCredit, and may not apply to equipment packages or doctor fees.
What happens after the evaluation?
We review the results in plain language and recommend next steps. If therapy is recommended, we explain the plan, the expected timeline, and how progress is measured.
If therapy is recommended, are results guaranteed?
Yes. We offer a money-back guarantee when families fully follow the program as prescribed — attending scheduled sessions, consistently completing the home program, and adhering to our clinical recommendations. If you meet the program requirements and we do not observe the expected progress, we will review your case and honor the guarantee in accordance with the terms of your signed agreement.
