The 1-Hour Difference: What to Expect at Your Same Day Eye Exam @ Mi Vision Eye Care

Do your eyes constantly feel dry, gritty, or irritated — even after a full night’s sleep? Do you rely on artificial tears that barely work? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans struggle with dry eye disease, a condition that can dramatically affect your comfort, vision, and quality of life.

At Mi Vision Eye Care, we’re excited to offer a groundbreaking solution: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, a non-invasive, light-based treatment that tackles dry eye at its source.

Step 1: Check In — Simple, Fast, and Friendly

We believe great care starts with great service! When you arrive, our SA front desk team greets you by name and confirms a few quick details about your visit. 

New patient? No problem! 

Our digital forms make check-in easy and paper-free, so you’re not spending your afternoon filling out stacks of paperwork.

If you’re a walk-in, we do our best to see you as quickly as possible. We’re open 7 days a week, and same-day appointments are available every day!

Step 2: Pre-Exam Testing

Before you meet with our eye doctor, Dr. Cuba, our technicians perform a series of quick pre-tests using state-of-the-art equipment. These tests measure eye pressure, depth perception, and overall visual function.

We use the same advanced technology you’ll find at local, big box eye care clinics, but with the warmth and personal touch of a local practice.

Step 3: Your Eye Exam

Next, you’ll meet with our experienced optometrist. Our doctor will:

  • Review your medical and vision history
  • Check your prescription with precise digital refraction tools
  • Examine the health of your eyes, from cornea to retina
  • Answer your questions and explain every step along the way

At Mi Vision Eye Care, we don’t rush this part. 

Even though the full visit can take about an hour, your doctor takes the time to make sure you understand your vision and any changes that may have occurred since your last exam.

Step 4: Find Your Perfect Frames

Once your exam is complete, our opticians guide you through our in-store collection of more than 2,000 frames, featuring luxury, designer, and budget-friendly options. Whether you prefer classic styles or something bold and modern, we’ll help you find frames that fit your face, personality, and prescription.

Our optical team knows exactly which frames work best for different face shapes, lenses, and lifestyles!

Step 5: Same-Day Glasses. See Clearly Before You Leave!

Here’s where the one-hour difference really comes in. Because Mi Vision Eye Care has an on-site optical lab, most prescriptions can be made within the same visit, often in about an hour.

That means no waiting days or weeks for your glasses to arrive from an outside lab. You can have your exam, choose your frames, and walk out seeing clearly, all in one trip!

For patients with more complex prescriptions or specialty lenses, we’ll give you a clear timeline and updates from our lab team every step of the way.

Step 6: Personalized Care Beyond the Exam

Your visit doesn’t end when you pick up your new glasses. Every pair comes with free lifetime adjustments and maintenance, so you can stop by anytime for quick repairs, cleaning, or fit adjustments — no appointment needed.

It’s just one more way we make vision care easier and more personal for San Antonio families.
