At The Eye Institute, our goal is to promote good eye health and give you the clearest vision possible. We accept several types of vision and medical insurance, cash, checks, CareCredit, and most credit cards. We inform our patients about exam and treatment costs at the beginning of an appointment.

Online Payments

You can quickly and conveniently pay your bill for any of our offices!

You will need to enter your patient name, birthdate, email address and phone number to successfully make a payment to your account.

CareCredit

If you don’t have vision or medical insurance, there is still another option to help you get the eye care and vision correction you need. The CareCredit healthcare credit card with special financing options helps remove that cost barrier, giving you a way to fit the cost of eye care into your monthly budget. CareCredit can help you finance:

  • LASIK
  • Premium IOL
  • Co-pay for Retina treatments
  • Dry eye treatments
  • Ortho-K
  • Eyeglasses, Vision Therapy and more

Flexible Spending Accounts

Many employers offer Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans. These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery. 

 

Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.

Other Payment Options

Our optometry staff understands that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision. We accept various forms of payment and can discuss financing options with you before your examination. At The Eye Institute, we also accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Contact one of our four locations to schedule your eye exam.

Testimonials


I left feeling as if I was valued, and that my money was being well spent on something I wanted to spend it on — not something I felt pressured into thinking I needed. The eye exam was by far one of the most involved and well explained I have ever experienced. I was pleasantly surprised the that the Dr. was present the whole time, my questions were answered with thought and not once did I get the standard, "I would not be too concerned " response. It was always a clear interest to make sure I was understanding the technical as well as the results of his answer.

I had been coming here for years and I'm always greeted by friendly staff! They know most of my family and remember our life stories when we come. It never feels like I'm the eye doctor, it feels like family.

TEI's team has always been courteous, friendly and calls about the exam. I've been going for year to one in Knightdale, NC and would not switch unless they close which, hopefully, they never will!

Dr. Chad Morgan has provided me with proactive, strategic care and exceptional long-term advice about my eye care for more than 5 years. I trust him completely and know he has a full understanding of my health and the new treatment options for my care. I simply wouldn't entrust my eyes to anyone else!
