- Primary CareManaged care insurance plans require referrals in order to be seen to treat specific problems, or for long term management of chronic problems such as glaucoma.

- OphthalmologyThe information here is meant to informative and in no way should it be taken to be the last word about these topics. Nothing is better for your eyes than getting a comprehensive evaluation at Richboro Eye Care, but being an informed patient means you are more likely to be compliant with prescribed regimens and more likely to improve. The information here should not be used to replace your usual medical eye care. We have provided links to other websites, especially the American Academy of Ophthalmology, to give you a broader range of information.
