Cornerstone Eye Associates connects patients across New York with licensed clinicians through secure, HIPAA-compliant video visits. When a medication is needed, your prescription can be issued electronically and routed to the pharmacy you prefer.
From the first symptom to a filled prescription, every step stays inside one documented system of care, with no extra trip to the office required.
How Virtual Care and Our Pharmacy Work Together
Our telehealth service lets you reach a licensed provider from home, and our online pharmacy completes the loop once a medication is needed. Together they cover the full path from first symptom to filled prescription, while keeping every step inside a single, documented system of care.
During a video consultation you can describe your symptoms, review treatment options, and ask questions directly. If the clinician decides a medication is appropriate, the prescription is sent electronically right after your visit. From there, you choose where it is filled, including the pharmacy partners listed on this page.
Every consultation follows the same clinical and privacy standards you would expect from an in-person appointment. Records, treatment notes, and follow-up recommendations stay within a secure electronic health record, so your care remains connected across visits.
Why Patients Choose Virtual Visits
- ✓Licensed providers — every visit is handled by a qualified clinician, never an automated questionnaire alone.
- ✓Private and secure — consultations run on a HIPAA-compliant platform built to protect your information.
- ✓Electronic prescriptions — when warranted, your prescription is issued digitally and sent where you need it.
- ✓Flexible scheduling — request a time that fits your day rather than rearranging it around a clinic.
- ✓Connected records — each visit is documented in one health record, so nothing falls through the cracks.
- ✓Coordinated next steps — if testing or an in-person exam is needed, you leave the visit knowing what comes next.
From Consultation to Prescription
Before Your Visit: What to Have Ready
A few minutes of preparation helps your provider make a faster, safer decision and lowers the chance that a second visit is needed. Have the following on hand before you join:
- ✓A current medication list — including doses, plus any vitamins or supplements you take.
- ✓Known allergies and past reactions — to medications, foods, or materials.
- ✓A short symptom summary — when it started, what makes it better or worse, and anything you have already tried.
- ✓Your preferred pharmacy — name and location, so any prescription routes to the right place.
- ✓A photo ID and a quiet, well-lit spot — identity may be verified, and good lighting helps your provider see what you describe.

Insurance, Costs, and Payment
Whether a virtual visit is covered depends on your specific plan. Some policies reimburse telehealth in full, others cover part of the cost, and a few do not include it at all. Because plans differ so widely, it helps to confirm your benefits before you book.
Most major insurers cover virtual visits for routine concerns, follow-ups, and refills on existing non-controlled prescriptions. Still, the simplest way to avoid surprises is to call the number on your insurance card or check your member portal ahead of time. Patients without insurance can pay directly by debit or credit card, and HSA or FSA cards are accepted where eligible.
- Minor illnesses and acute conditions
- Follow-up visits for concerns already assessed
- Refills for non-controlled medications
- Skin conditions and allergic reactions
- Nausea and minor digestive discomfort
- Seasonal allergies and sinus symptoms
- General questions and post-visit guidance
- Controlled substance prescriptions
- Full physical examinations
- Conditions needing hands-on testing or imaging
- In-person lab work and vaccinations
- Preventive screenings and wellness exams
- Emergencies requiring immediate care
Paying Without Insurance
No coverage is no obstacle. We offer straightforward self-pay pricing with no hidden fees, and the cost of your visit is shown before it begins. Rates reflect the type of visit and the clinical time involved, and even partial insurance coverage can lower what you owe.
Clear Pricing on Every Prescription
Medication costs are rarely one-size-fits-all. What you pay depends on the medication itself, whether it is brand-name or generic, the dosage, the pharmacy that fills it, your location, and how your insurance applies. We believe you deserve to see those details before committing to a treatment plan, so we share them upfront wherever we can.
- Brand-name versus generic formulation
- Dosage strength and how often it is taken
- The dispensing pharmacy and how fulfillment is handled
- Your plan, copay, or where you stand on your deductible
- State rules on how prescriptions can be filled
- Whether you choose a one-time or recurring prescription
Any pricing referenced is for general guidance only and may change. Prescribing decisions are made by licensed clinicians based on what is medically right for the patient, and availability varies by state.

How to Recognize a Safe Online Pharmacy
Most people cannot tell a legitimate pharmacy website from a fake one at a glance, and that gap is exactly what counterfeit sellers rely on. Wherever you choose to fill a prescription, a few quick checks protect you from products that may contain the wrong dose, the wrong ingredient, or none at all.
- Asks for a valid prescription before dispensing
- Lists a real U.S. street address and phone number
- Has a licensed pharmacist available for questions
- Is licensed by a state board of pharmacy
- States clearly how your data is protected
- Sells prescription medication with no prescription
- Prices that look far too good to be true
- No verifiable U.S. licensing or pharmacist
- Packaging in another language or with no expiry date
- Vague or missing privacy and payment safeguards
When in doubt, confirm a pharmacy’s license through your state board of pharmacy, or use the FDA’s BeSafeRx tools to check whether a site is state-licensed before you order.
Every treatment decision on our platform is made by a licensed healthcare professional and follows both federal and state law. A prescription, including an e-prescription, is issued only after a proper evaluation shows that a medication is genuinely warranted. Booking a visit does not guarantee one, because clinical judgment and patient safety always come first.
What Can and Cannot Be Prescribed
Some medications are not available through a virtual visit, whether for clinical, legal, or state-specific reasons, and those limits can change over time. As a general rule, telehealth prescribing does not cover:
- Controlled substances under federal or state law
- Medications that require a hands-on exam or lab work first
- Injectable treatments that need ongoing in-person monitoring
- Anything restricted by your state’s telehealth rules
Eligibility and Identity Verification
Telehealth services are generally available to adults 18 and older. Before or during your consultation, you may be asked to confirm your identity, which is a standard requirement under medical and legal guidelines. In some cases, visits for patients under 18 are possible with proper parental or guardian consent.
Medical Oversight and Follow-Up
Each clinician follows established guidelines, state medical board requirements, and current e-prescribing standards. When a single visit is not the full picture, you may be referred for an in-person evaluation, lab testing, or imaging before treatment begins. Telehealth is designed to make access easier, not to replace care that truly requires someone in the room with you.
