How much does vision coverage cost?

You pay for vision coverage through deductions from your paycheck.

Find a network provider

You can see any vision care provider you want, but you’ll pay less when you choose an in-network provider. Visit the VSP website to find an in-network vision care provider near you.

Why get vision coverage?

If you wear glasses or contacts, chances are you already have regular appointments with an eye doctor. But even those with perfect eyesight should have their vision checked on a regular basis.

Vision ID cards

You will not receive a vision ID card. When you see a vision care provider, simply say that VSP is your vision plan carrier so that your provider can obtain your benefits coverage information. If you would like to access an electronic copy of your ID card, register or log into http://www.vsp.com or go to the VSP app.

Vision care is about more than eyesight

Eye doctors are often the first health care professionals to detect chronic systemic diseases, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Decided Not to Elect Vision Coverage?

No problem. VSP offers you access to a Vision Savings Pass Discount Program, which you and your family can use for basic vision care services. With reimbursements up to 25% off prescription glasses, 15% off contact lenses and a $50 copay for a vision exam, this program can meet your immediate needs.

To learn more about this program or locate a VSP network doctor, visit http://www.vsp.com or call 1-800-877-7195* and simply let them know you are a VSP member.
