Explore more affordable alternatives to vision insurance with vision discount plans that help you save on glasses, contacts, exams, & more.
Vision care – we all know it is important, but sometimes it’s
difficult to fit eye exams
and essentials like new glasses or lenses into an overstretched budget.
More than 11 million Americans have an uncorrected visual impairment that can impact
their quality of life, according to the National Eye Institute.
But now everyone can afford to see the world more clearly, with Vision Savings Plans
that reduce the cost of the exams, products and treatments that keep your eyes healthy
and happy.
At least once a year. In some cases, getting an exam every six months is suggested for
optimum eye health. Ask your eye care professional how often you should get your vision
checked.
For children, regular eye exams help to ensure normal vision development and solid
academic achievement. The American Optometric A-sociation states that 60% of students
identified as problem learners have undetected vision troubles.
Adults can help maintain their vision quality through regular checkups, updated
prescription lenses as needed, and proper sunglasses to protect eyes from solar damage.
More than 3 million Americans over the age of 40 have some form of vision impairment,
according to The National Eye Institute.
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will examine your eyes for the presence
of common eye diseases, evaluates how your eyes work together (alignment, depth
perception, “binocular” vision) and checks your visual acuity to see if you need
corrective lenses. Your doctor will also a-sess your eyes in terms of your overall
health. Your eyes can reveal the presence of chronic diseases such as high blood
pressure or diabetes.
Eye exams don’t hurt. You should be aware that your eye doctor will likely dilate your
pupils, resulting in blurred vision for an hour or two following the exam.
Savings plans are NOT insurance and the savings will vary by provider, plan and
zip code. These plans are not considered to be qualified health plans under the
Affordable Care Act. Please consult with the respective plan detail page for additional
plan terms. The discounts are available through participating healthcare providers
only. To check that your provider participates, visit our website or call us. Since
there is no paperwork or reimbursement, you must pay for the service at the time
it’s provided. You will receive the discount off the provider’s usual and customary
fees when you pay. We encourage you to check with your participating provider prior
to beginning treatment.
Special promotions including, but not limited to, additional months free are not available
to California residents or on Fully Insured Plans. Note – not all plans and
offers available in all markets.
