  • Vision exams help detect vision changes—but there’s more to them than meets the eye.  Routine vision exams are not only important for your sight.  They may also help detect early signs of serious problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers and other conditions.3 Making this connection between vision exams and overall health can help employees see the full value of the benefits you offer.

  • Focus on savings and simplicity: Savings4 are built into your plan design, so employees may realize savings  on total costs—including premiums and out-of-pocket costs—for eye exams, prescription glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses.

  • Flexible: Choose from a wide range of plan designs, including $0 copay options.

  • Convenient: Employees can choose from over 132,000 provider access points in the network, including private and retail center locations such as Costco Optical, Sam’s Club, Walmart and more.  Also, 83% of our network private practice providers offer extended evening, weekend or early morning hours.5

  • Simple: There are no ID card or in-network claims forms needed.
