Helping employees see clearly.

Our Vision insurance plans are designed to help keep employees’ eyes healthy so they can stay productive at work. Coverage can include savings on eye exams, eyewear, and discounts on laser vision correction.

95% of diabetes related vision loss could be prevented by getting an annual eye exam.1

45 million Americans wear contacts.3

About 70% of adults report experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain such as blurred vision or headaches.4

How can we

Offering employees Vision insurance through VSP® Vision Care, that includes a comprehensive eye exam, is important because VSP providers can detect signs of chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, before costly symptoms arise. Research shows that an eye exam can help provide early detection of major health issues.1

A benefit that is easy to offer

  • No ID cards or claim forms necessary
  • Access to the largest network of private-practice eye care providers in the U.S. through the VSP®2 network
  • Flexible enrollment options

Three plan options

Plan 1

Coverage for an eye exam and discounts for materials

Plan 2

Employer paid coverage for an eye exam and an option for employees to purchase coverage for materials

Plan 3

Coverage for an eye exam and materials

Helping members use their benefits

  • Discounts for glasses, sunglasses, additional lens options (progressive, tint transition lenses) and laser vision correction at contracted laser vision facilities
  • Access to eyeconic where employees can use their benefits to shop for glasses or contacts
  • Cover a wide selection of eyewear that meets the needs for all employees
