Where is Pickerington Eyecare located and what landmarks are nearby?
We are at 141 Clint Drive, right off Hill Road North near the Pickerington Kroger center. Many of our patients stop by before or after running errands along State Route 256 or on their way to and from Pickerington High School North.
Hours are:
- Monday, Tuesday, Friday: 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM
- Wednesday and Thursday: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
We serve Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Canal Winchester, Brice, and the neighborhoods around Sycamore Creek Park and Olde Pickerington Village.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept many vision and medical plans, including VSP, EyeMed, Medicare, and employer sponsored plans common in the Pickerington and East Columbus area. If you are not sure about coverage, our front desk can check your benefits before your visit.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. We welcome new patients from across Fairfield and Franklin County. Whether you live near Tussing Road, Long Road, or the neighborhoods off Diley Road, you can schedule an appointment for yourself or your family at any time.
How often should I schedule an eye exam?
Most of our patients benefit from a yearly eye exam. Annual exams help track vision changes and identify issues early. If you have diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or wear specialty contact lenses, we may recommend visits more often.
Do you provide eye exams for children?
Yes. Children rely on clear vision for reading and schoolwork, especially in the districts around North and Central. We examine infants, toddlers, and school age children, checking vision, eye teaming, focusing skills, and overall eye health.
What should I expect during a comprehensive eye exam?
A full exam includes:
- Vision testing for glasses or contacts
- Eye pressure check
- Slit lamp evaluation
- Retinal screening with dilation or imaging
- Testing for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye changes
Most visits take 30 to 45 minutes. Many patients schedule exams while running errands at Kroger, Meijer, or Target on SR 256.
Do you fit contact lenses, including specialty lenses?
Yes. We fit soft contacts, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, and options for patients who have trouble with standard designs. If you have dry eye, high prescriptions, or corneal issues, we can help choose a lens that fits your needs.
Can children wear contact lenses?
Many children can safely wear contact lenses. Maturity and comfort handling lenses matter more than age. We help children and teens learn safe lens habits, especially athletes at Pickerington North or Pickerington Central who want clearer vision during practices and games.
Do you treat dry eye?
Yes. We offer a full evaluation and treatment plan that may include moisturizing drops, eyelid therapy, medications, or in office care designed to improve tear function.
Do you diagnose and manage eye diseases?
Yes. Our optometric team manages conditions such as:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic eye disease
- Cataracts
- Macular degeneration
- Eye infections
- Allergies
- Minor injuries
We also coordinate referrals when advanced treatment or surgery is needed.
Do you offer vision therapy or care for eye teaming problems?
Yes. We evaluate focusing and eye teaming issues that can affect reading, sports performance, and classroom success. When needed, we offer therapy programs or refer to trusted specialists in the East Columbus area.
Can I come to you with questions about LASIK or other vision correction surgeries?
Yes. We provide pre operative evaluations and post operative care for LASIK, PRK, and other procedures. We help our eye care patients understand their options and coordinate with nearby surgical centers.
What types of eyeglass frames do you carry?
We carry a wide selection of frames for adults and children, including classic, modern, sporty, and colorful styles. Many families stop in after visiting shops in Olde Pickerington Village to choose new glasses.
