I Don’t Need Vision Care

“I don’t need glasses so I don’t need Vision Care”

Honestly, how would Vision Care benefit me, if my vision is perfect?  Experts argue every person can benefit from an annual vision care exam. How?

  • During the VSP WellVision Exam, your eye doctor does much more than just determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
  • Your doctor will also check for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together “as a team” and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

Some Medical Conditions Are Easier to Detect Through The Eyes

Are you between Age 20 and 74? One of the nation’s leading vision care plans found its doctors were the first to diagnose diabetes in over 30% of cases.

“Millions of people are without vision coverage, and we want to increase access to care for those who wouldn’t otherwise be covered through an employer,” said Ken Stellmacher, Senior Vice President & General Manager of VSP Individual Plans. “Our mission is to help people see, and one of the ways we do that is by supplying brokers with a valuable product that is affordable for their clients. Also, with adult vision care not offered as part of the new public health insurance exchanges, this is a great avenue to make vision care easily accessible to consumers.

Vision Service Plan for Individuals & Families

 

More than 50 percent of Americans are without vision coverage.1 In an effort to increase access to care, VSP® Vision Care, the nation’s largest not-for-profit vision services and benefits company, recently launched a program for insurance brokers to sell individual vision plans directly to consumers.

Authorized brokers can now sell VSP individual insurance plans through a website hosted by VSP that allows clients to self-enroll. The vision plan, created exclusively for brokers, provides individuals and families the same high-quality eye care that VSP offers through employers­—directly to individuals who don’t have access to vision care. Like VSP’s employer-sponsored plans, the individual plan also offers the lowest out-of-pockets cost in vision care with a satisfaction guarantee.
