Managed vision care plans are a flexible health care benefit that most Americans obtain through their jobs. Being covered by a vision care plan has the following benefits:
Routine Eye Care - An estimated 16 million Americans have undiagnosed vision problems. Managed vision plans make it easier for individuals to schedule and finance eye exams and routine screenings for eye diseases.
Discount Eyewear - Vision plans are also beneficial for policyholders who require glasses or corrective lenses, as many plans offer generous discounts when purchasing medically required eyewear. Some plans also cover safety eyewear that protects wearers from workplace hazards.
Choice of Provider - Many plans allow individuals to select an eye specialist from a network of vision care providers. Many of these providers offer convenient weekend and evening hours, making eye care more accessible to people working traditional 9-5 schedules.
