Many do: Get in where you can.If the issue is simple they can treat it and find a referral source if you need additional work.

No,: The big chain stores like walmart, costco and target all have optical clinics. These are manned by optometrists who can help you. The cost of these clinics is substantially less than other eye clinics.
