The 366th Medical Group’s Optometry Clinic is experiencing a gap in provider coverage and will not be providing routine eye exams from April-August 2024. Currently, to book an eye exam, please see instructions below. Occupational health exams will still be available; see below for more details.
Routine Eye Exams
Active Duty Service Members:
- Contact the Mountain Home AFB Optometry Clinic to request a referral to receive care in the TRICARE Network.
- Once you have a referral, schedule an eye exam. You can check the status of your referral at TRICARE-West.
- At your exam, ask to have exam results be faxed to the Referral Management Center at 208-828-1046 to ensure results are uploaded into your medical record.
- After the exam, bring your prescription to the Optometry Clinic so we can order any glasses or inserts that you require. Any glasses purchased from a civilian source are at the member’s own expense.
Note: Contact lens fittings and contact lens purchases are not covered by TRICARE, unless you have certain pathological eye conditions. See TRICARE.mil for more details. If you receive a contact lens prescription renewal as part of your civilian eye exam, you will be charged for the fitting fee as well as the contact lens purchase.
