Vision plans can be added as a supplemental benefit to a primary medical plan and will generally cover most routine eye care through optometrists including eye exams, eyeglasses (frames, lenses) and contacts. Coverage for major eye procedures and surgeries, such as those
done by an opthalmologist, would generally run through the insured's primary health plan and less
so through the vision plan.

We can help you locate a solid vision plan for optimal eye health at a low monthly cost. The largest national networks for vision insurance or vision discount plans in the United States that we quote are VSP (Vision Service Plan), EyeMed , United HealthCare, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield and Davis Vision.

Without vision insurance, the cost for prescription eyeglasses could run as high as $500 per pair. Some plans cover LASIK procedures as well, and are sometimes offered at no additional cost alongside a dental policy.
Always read your policy for details on benefits and exclusions.
