I've been told by Social Security that Medicare does not pay for a vision exam. Is that true?
Not true! From inception, Medicare services have been limited to "medical" services. Yet, almost all patients (even those under 65 eligible for Medicare) have a “medical” condition diagnosed during a vision examination. Medicare is an excellent program for which you and your employer have paid. We accept all Medicare fees as payment in full except for a small fee not covered by Medicare. All other services are accepted as full payment.

Yes, school started in Lodi. Indeed, it is essential to check the vision of kids struggling in school. Yet, an A student expending way too much energy is overlooked, but can be helped. Often, an A student has vision processing difficulty and is pushing to get good grades. That was Dr. Henshaw's story, and one of the reasons he became an optometrist. Dr. Henshaw has treated children like this for many years. Give us a call at 209-334-2020 to be sure your A student isn’t overworking.

Now school is out, but not all your students met their potential. It was not your lack of dedication, school funding, or parental concern. Maybe the kids in 25% of your class who fail year after year, have an undetected vision condition that hampers their learning. The school eye screening checks less than 10% of the vision system, and nothing related to learning. Yet, every exam in our office tests visually related learning problems. We may be able to help. How would you identify the child with a visually related learning condition? An oft-ignored section of the state-mandated eye screening advises teacher observation. Go to drhenshaw.net and see how you may detect symptoms of a visually related learning problem

Go take a hike! It’s more fun than looking at a Chrome book.
Yes, getting out for the summer is more important for your eyes and education. Retire the Chrome book for the summer and get your kids out in the sun (take a peak at drhenshaw.net then go to the index under Go Play Outside Kids). # mountains

My Sight contact lenses: Yes attempts at slowing myopia is a good thing, but wouldn't it be better to prevent it in the first place? By the time your child is eligible for this new questionable approach to myopia, it is too late. Your child is already embedded in myopia. Implying myopia is related to learning problems simply has no scientific basis. The vast majority of children with myopia are good learners.Why not prevent myopia in the first place while enhancing learning as well.
