Vision Plans

Vision insurance is a wellness plan designed to offset the costs of routine checkups (eye exams) and prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses.

Routine eye exams are a preventative measure for maintaining your overall health and wellness. Your doctor can look for vision problems and signs of serious medical conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, and even cancer. Examinations also help determine the right prescription strength for eyewear and contact lenses.

During a contact lens exam, your doctor will evaluate your vision with contacts. There may be potential risk factors with improper fitting of contact lenses that can affect your overall eye health. Determining the right fit is key to making sure that your contacts are comfortable and are correcting your vision as intended.

For a single person, vision insurance plan costs typically range from $15-$30 per month.

Yes, you can bundle vision, dental, and health insurance. Some providers may offer savings when you bundle.

Most vision insurance plans offer coverage benefits including:

• Annual eye exams
• Yearly allowances for either glasses and frames or contact lenses
• Discounts on laser vision correction

Some vision plans cover or offer discounts on eyeglass lens enhancements (anti-glare, progressive bifocals, scratch-resistent coatings, and more).

First, estimate your current and future eye care needs. Each vision plan is different so consider which plan offers the services that best fit your needs and your budget. If you already have an eye doctor, evaluate whether they are within the plan's network in order to keep costs at a minimum.
