Eye Exam Services on Kings Highway, Brooklyn
Why Regular Eye Exams Matter
Eye exams do more than update a glasses prescription. They can help detect changes in vision early and flag conditions that may affect eye comfort or daily life. At Modern Optical NY in Gravesend, Brooklyn, licensed optometrists Dr. Steven Givner, OD, and Dr. Diana Lakovitsky, OD, provide thorough care for adults and children in a family-friendly setting.
After your exam, you can browse designer eyewear, explore vision care and lens options, and use insurance we accept to understand coverage before you choose frames or contacts. This hub summarizes each exam type — detailed steps live on the service pages linked below. Families often book kids eye exams before the school year; adults and seniors benefit from the same regular schedule any time of year.

Common Questions About Eye Exams
-
How often should I get an eye exam?
Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, or sooner if vision changes or eye discomfort develop. Children follow a pediatric schedule your optometrist will outline. Book a comprehensive exam or ask about kids eye exam appointments when scheduling.
-
Which eye exam do I need?
Start with a comprehensive eye exam for routine care. Choose a kids eye exam for children, a contact lens exam for contacts, or a DMV vision test for license-related screening. Call (718) 336-1060 if you are unsure.
-
Is a kids eye exam different from an adult exam?
Yes. Pediatric visits use child-friendly methods and focus on developmental vision and school-related concerns. Adult comprehensive exams address presbyopia, dry eye, and broader health factors. Both are available on Kings Highway — see each service page for specifics.
-
Does insurance cover an eye exam?
Many vision and medical plans contribute to exam costs depending on your plan and visit type. We accept major insurance — review insurance we accept or contact us before your appointment to verify benefits.
-
Do you accept walk-ins for eye exams?
Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows. Booking ahead reduces wait time and reserves the correct exam length. Call (718) 336-1060 or schedule your preferred exam type online.
