Vision Coverage
Vision coverage is an easy, affordable add-on benefit to your general health plan. For as little as $12 a month depending on the plan, you can help protect your eyes and maintain optimal health.
More and more people over the age of 20 need some form of vision correction because of heavy computer usage, eye diseases and other serious conditions that affect health such as diabetes and high blood pressure. If you’re a parent concerned about your child’s eye health or have a child who wears glasses, you may want to consider adding vision coverage to your family’s health plan.
Among the array of benefits offered are regular, routine eye exams that check eyesight and can detect these conditions that affect overall health. Eye diseases such as glaucoma (pressure in the eyes that causes damage to the optic nerve) and macular degeneration (retinal changes that cause gradual loss of vision) can develop at any time. With a vision plan, you can ensure that medical eye problems will be detected and treated early, saving thousands of dollars in future medical costs.

Vision Coverage for Employees
Eye injuries happen daily in the workplace and cost businesses more than $300 million a year in lost production time, medical benefits and workers’ compensation. Eye care coverage is a wise decision for employers also because employees consider it a desirable benefit, which makes it an effective retention tool.
Like most employees who use computers for more than several hours a day on the job, you may need to change your prescription every two or more years to ensure proper vision. The high cost of fashionable frames and new types of contact lenses are additional reasons to enroll. A full 55% of the population now wears corrective eye care, according to the American Optometric Association.
Benefits of Acquiring an Eye Care Plan
If you’re living with blurred vision, it may be corrected with proper eye care at a low cost. Even if your vision seems normal, you will want to preserve it and make sure you are not developing an eye disease or failing to correct any changes in your vision.
By enrolling in a quality eye plan, you can get personalized care from a wide network of experienced optometrists and ophthalmologists. Providers are credentialed to meet rigorous standards set by national agencies. You’ll also enjoy great discounts on exams, frames, lenses and contacts. Many plans offer members laser vision correction, such as LASIK. As part of the plan, usually there are no charges for specified preventive services from participating providers.
Vision plans will verify your eligibility and handle all paperwork so all you need to do is to show up for your appointment.
