The vision care eye examination covered by your BCBS FEP Vision benefit yields a basic prescription for eyeglasses, and includes:

• Refraction
• Basic glaucoma (puff-of-air) test
• Dilated Examination (if professionally indicated)
• A general overview of eye health

An examination can detect several eye diseases, as well as signs of systemic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, high blood pressure, and neurological impairments. Every vision care examination our providers administer is consistent with clinical guidelines published by the American Optometric Association and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
