We Make Eye Care For Kids Fun!
We provide a comfortable and kid-friendly environment to make their eye exam a positive experience.
Give Your Child the Gift of Clear Vision
At Arizona Primary Eye Care, we believe in prioritizing your child's eye health from the very beginning.
It’s important for parents to realize that the pediatrician and schools generally are only concerned with basic screenings to check for serious and obvious problems when it comes to eye care for kids. They will not be looking inside the eye, beyond basic structure. It’s up to parents to bring them into an optometrist at 6 months and 3-4 years old to check for less-obvious problems.
What to expect at your child's eye exam
In addition to the standard eye tests, we'll also check for:
- Color vision: Identifying any color deficiencies early on.
- Eye coordination: Making sure their eyes work together properly.
- Proper development: Ensuring their eyes are healthy and developing as expected.
Early detection is key.
Many childhood eye conditions can be treated more effectively if they are caught early. Regular eye exams are essential for your child’s visual development and academic success.
Very pleasant and professional! Now, if only I could find and MD with qualities to match these folks!
The ENTIRE staff at AZ Primary Eye Care are top shelf. My family has been seeing Dr. Nichols for several years now and could not be happier with both the service and products.
I’ve been to four different optometrists in the last 20 years. This is by far the best. Prompt, thorough and professional from reception to check out. Very well trained staff.
Great as always. Best fit and best prescription I have ever had and I have been wearing glasses most of my life.
The Dr. was great.. clear, concise and kind. The rest of the staff took her lead in those qualities as well.
Insurances We Accept
We contract with most insurance companies (see the list below), and participate with VSP and Medicare. As a courtesy, we also bill primary insurers on behalf of our patients. That means that insured patients only need to worry about their copay at the time of the exam; we will coordinate and accept payment for the rest with your primary insurer directly. The co-pay of your visit will depend on the specific insurance provider. If your provider happens to be unfamiliar to us, we can contact their business by phone and make sure we are contracted with their plan. If your insurance does cover your visit with us, we always accept cash, credit cards, personal check, Care Credit, etc. If you would like to apply for Care Credit, click here. The following is a list of some of the insurance companies that we accept. If your insurance company is not on this list, call us to see if we are contracted with them.
