- Primary CareOregon Health Plan will pay for an exam and a pair of glasses yearly for children (Age 0-20) regardless of whether there is an underlying medical problem or not. They will also cover an exam and a pair of glasses for pregnant OHP clients (once every two year) that provide a “Proof of Pregnancy” document from their Primary Care or OB provider.
- Infectious DiseasesDr. Jonathan Fay is pleased to return home to beautiful Klamath Falls to join his father and the Klamath Eye Center in the practice of ophthalmology. His areas of expertise are in cornea and external eye disease including: cataract surgery, cornea transplants, corneal degenerations, infectious diseases, and LASIK. He also provides comprehensive care to patients with diabetes, macular degeneration and glaucoma.
- GlaucomaMany of our patients are not aware that their medical insurance will often pay for an eye exam, including Medicare, Oregon Health Plan, and most other insurances. These insurances will pay for the exam if there is a qualifying underlying medical problem, such as cataracts (nearly all patients over age 60 have some degree of cataract), dry eye (also quite common in our dry climate), Diabetes, Glaucoma, Macular degeneration, and many more. Medical insurance will usually NOT pay for a pair of glasses, but they will pay for the exam. However, a measurement for glasses can be done at the time of the exam, and a prescription given if the patient desires (refraction fees apply.)
- OphthalmologyDr. Fay brings to Klamath Falls new areas of expertise in ophthalmology and in doing so joins the Klamath Eye Center in offering state of the art care to their patients. However, what he enjoys most about ophthalmology is offering meaningful and personal care to his patients, and what better way to do this than in the community he grew up in!
