Welcome to the River City Eye new patient information page. Thank you for considering our clinic for your eye care needs! Please review our FAQs for more information about your upcoming visit. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to call our office at 210-930-2015.
What services does River City Eye Associates offer?
As a medical office, we evaluate, treat and manage many clinical eye diseases and conditions including cataracts. We invite you to view our educational videos for more information on your specific eye condition and cataract surgery options available at our facility.
What do I need to bring for my visit?
We will need the following items at your first visit (and subsequent annual visits): an ID card (such as a DL), a current medical insurance card, all eye medications, a list of all prescription medications you are currently taking, and any glasses or contacts that you wear on a regular basis.
The ophthalmologist needs to have a clear view of the back of the eye. As such, all new patients will be dilated so we recommend that you bring a comfortable pair of sunglasses. In addition, for some patients, the dilation makes it difficult to drive. If you are sensitive to dilation, we recommend bringing someone to drive you home after your exam.

What if I need a glasses prescription?
Most medical insurances (including Medicare) do not cover glasses prescriptions, unfortunately. As a courtesy, upon request, we can do a refraction and provide you with the glasses prescription; however, there is a fee for this service.
We look forward to your visit. Please call our office (210-930-2015) with any additional questions!
