What is vision insurance?
Vision insurance can help you cover some of the cost of maintaining healthy vision, such as routine eye exams and contact lens fittings. However, it's important to look around to find the right plan for you.
When you buy vision insurance, it's important to understand all the costs associated with your plan. You should also discuss your benefits with your agent or eyecare professional. For example, some employers provide group vision insurance as part of their benefit packages. Depending on what is included, you may also wish to purchase supplemental vision insurance to cover the cost of exams, eyewear, and other vision necessities for you and your family.

What does vision insurance cover?
It's important to review individual policies carefully to truly understand what your vision insurance covers. However, most eye insurance plans cover the cost of:
Routine eye care
Preventive care
Allowance for prescription eyewear
Depending on the type of policy you have, you will typically have to pay at least a portion of the cost for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
LASIK, PRK, and other vision correction surgery have become more mainstream over the past several years. Therefore, some vision insurance will also cover part of the cost or provide a discount for these services.
If you have an eye disease or chronic condition, you will probably receive care under your medical insurance, not your vision insurance. For example, cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye diseases typically do not fall under vision insurance. Instead, you would file a claim with your health insurance company.

Vision Insurance FAQs
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.
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.
