Making Your Benefits Easier to Use

Insurance can be confusing. Our team works with a variety of vision plans and can help you understand how your benefits may apply to your eye care and eyewear.

Coverage varies by plan, so we’ll always recommend confirming your specific benefits before making decisions based on insurance alone.

VSP Premier Program

Vision Insurance vs. Medical Insurance

Vision insurance and medical insurance are not always used for the same type of visit.

Vision plans are commonly used for routine eye exams and eyewear benefits, while medical insurance may apply when your visit involves a medical eye condition, symptoms, or ongoing treatment.

Which insurance is used depends on the reason for the visit and your individual coverage.

What Does My Plan Cover?

Benefits can vary widely, even between patients with the same insurance company.

Eye Exams

Routine examination benefits may be available depending on your plan.


Frames & Lenses

Some plans provide allowances or coverage toward frames, lenses, lens options, or contact lenses.


Contact Lenses

Benefits may differ depending on whether you choose contacts instead of glasses and on the type of lenses prescribed.


The best way to know what applies to you is to review your specific plan benefits.

Have Questions About Your Coverage?

We’re happy to help you understand the insurance plans we participate with and what information you may need before your visit.

Because coverage and eligibility can change, final benefits are determined by your insurance plan.
