We Accept EyeMed — Here's What You Need to Know
Yes, Vision Palace Optical accepts EyeMed vision insurance at our Sheepshead Bay location on Avenue U. If you have an EyeMed plan through your employer or marketplace coverage, you can use your benefits for eye exams, frames, and lenses right here in Brooklyn. We'll file your claim directly, so you pay only what your plan requires.
EyeMed is one of the largest vision insurance providers in the country, and we work with their network regularly. Whether you're covered through a group plan at work or an individual policy, we're here to make your visit straightforward and affordable.
How EyeMed Coverage Works at Vision Palace Optical
Your EyeMed plan typically covers a comprehensive eye exam, a set allowance toward frames, and a lens benefit. The exact coverage depends on your specific plan. Some plans cover a portion of designer frames from our collection — we carry brands like Ray-Ban, Prada, Gucci, Tom Ford, and Tiffany — while others work best with our everyday options.
When you come in for your exam, we'll verify your EyeMed benefits before we start. That way, you'll know exactly what's covered and what your out-of-pocket cost will be. Coverage varies by plan, so call us or book through Zocdoc to confirm your benefits before your visit.
Many of our patients on Avenue U use EyeMed, and we've worked with the plan long enough to know how to maximize your benefits. If you have questions about what's covered, our team can walk you through it.
Why Choose Vision Palace Optical for Your EyeMed Exam
We've been serving Brooklyn families for over 30 years, and we take the time to get your vision right. Dr. Julia Sheyko and Dr. Alexander Shlivko both have deep expertise in contact lens fitting, eye disease screening, and helping you find frames that actually fit your face and lifestyle.
When you use your EyeMed benefit with us, you're not just getting an exam. You're getting a thorough evaluation of your eye health, including screening for glaucoma, dry eye, and other conditions that can sneak up on you. We check your retina, measure your eye pressure, and assess how well your eyes work together.
Our frame selection is real. We stock designer names alongside quality everyday brands, so whether your EyeMed allowance is modest or generous, we'll find something you'll actually want to wear. And if you need specialty lenses — progressive lenses, blue light blocking, Transitions, or lenses to slow myopia progression in your kids — we can fit those too.
Walk-In or Book Your EyeMed Eye Exam
You can book an appointment through Zocdoc, call us at (718) 998-8400, or just walk in. We're open Monday through Saturday at 1723 Avenue U in Brooklyn, right in the heart of Sheepshead Bay where you can park easily and stop by on your lunch break or way home from work.
When you arrive, bring your insurance card. We'll scan it, verify your EyeMed benefits, and let you know what to expect. If you're a new patient, we'll ask about your eye history and any vision concerns. The whole process is straightforward.
Many of our neighbors from Brighton Beach, Gravesend, and Marine Park use EyeMed with us. If you haven't had your eyes checked this year, now's a good time — especially if you work on screens all day or your vision has changed.
