Group vision insurance

Vision coverage helps employees with the cost of routine eye exams, glasses and contact lenses. It is an affordable addition to your benefits package that most employees use every year.

What group vision plans cover

  • Routine eye exams, usually once a year.
  • Allowances toward frames and lenses, or contact lenses.
  • Network discounts on additional eyewear and services.

Employer-paid or voluntary

Like dental, vision can be paid by the employer, shared, or offered as a voluntary benefit at group rates. It pairs naturally with group dental and medical plans.

Common questions

Is vision coverage included in our medical plan?

Medical plans may cover some eye care, but routine exams, glasses and contacts usually need a separate vision plan. We will check what your current coverage includes.

Can vision be offered on its own?

Often, yes. Many carriers offer group vision as a standalone plan or bundled with dental. We will compare the options for you.
