Vision Plan
Proper vision care is an essential part of good health. Routine eye exams can help determine the need for prescription glasses, but can also help detect symptoms of serious conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and diabetes.
When you use the services of providers who participate in the EyeMed Vision Care network, you generally pay a small copay and the plan pays the rest.
