The Eye Center: Your Guide to Appointments, Hours, & Insurance

Finding accessible, high-quality eye care shouldn't be a challenge.

At The Eye Center, we make it easy to schedule an appointment that fits into your busy life, whether you’re booking a routine eye exam, getting fitted for contacts, or managing an eye condition.

This blog covers everything you need to know about our clinic hours, appointment availability, emergency services, and insurance coverage to ensure a smooth and stress-free visit.

Clinic Hours & Appointment Availability

We understand that flexibility is key when booking an eye care appointment, whether you’re a busy parent, working professional, or college student.

Fayetteville Location Hours

• Monday – Saturday: 9:15 AM – 6:00 PM

• Sunday: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM (Staff available, no doctor on Sundays)

Other Locations

Need a weekend appointment? Our Sunday availability in Fayetteville and Durham makes it easy for those who can’t visit during the week.

Do You Accept Emergency Eye Appointments?

Yes! We handle emergency eye care during regular hours, Monday through Saturday. Whether you’re experiencing sudden vision changes, an eye injury, or an infection, our expert eye doctors are available to provide urgent care.

Note: On Sundays, only staff are available—no doctors are on-site, so emergency services are not available that day.

If you have an eye emergency outside of our hours, we recommend visiting an urgent care center or emergency room for immediate assistance.

Insurance & Payment Options

We understand that insurance coverage is a common concern when booking an eye care appointment. The most frequent question we receive is whether we accept Medicaid and specific insurance providers.

We are in-network with:

• Direct Medicaid
• Medicaid through Healthy Blue
• Medicaid through March Vision
• Alliance Health
• Vaya
• Carolina Complete

Not sure if your insurance is accepted? Our team is happy to verify your coverage before your appointment. Give us a call at 888-215-0393 for assistance.

For those without insurance, we offer flexible payment options to ensure you receive the best eye care possible.
