Exams & providers
We compare exam frequency, copays, and access to the provider and retail networks employees are likely to use.
Employee vision coverage
Simple vision benefits, clearly compared.
We compare vision plans by provider access, exam coverage, frame and contact allowances, frequency, and employee cost.
What this covers
A small benefit with visible value.
The right policy starts with the details of how the organization works and what it needs to protect.
Frames & lenses
Allowances, lens upgrades, and replacement frequency determine how far the benefit goes at purchase time.
Contacts & alternatives
Plans handle contact lenses, medically necessary lenses, and discounts differently. We make the limits visible.
Typically included

Where policies fall short
Where coverage can fall short.
Most problems begin with an assumption that was never checked against the policy.
Allowances compared without frequency
A larger allowance may not be better if employees must wait longer before using it again.
Retail access overlooked
Employees value plans they can use conveniently near home or work.
Lens upgrades misunderstood
Progressive, anti-glare, and specialty lenses may involve added employee cost even when basic lenses are covered.
Common questions
Questions clients ask first.
Straight answers before a decision is made.
Does vision insurance cover medical eye care?
Vision benefits usually focus on routine exams and eyewear. Medical eye conditions are generally handled through medical coverage.
Can employees choose contacts instead of glasses?
Many plans provide an allowance for one or the other during a benefit period. The exact rules vary.
Can vision be voluntary?
Often yes. We can compare employer-paid and employee-paid approaches alongside the rest of the benefits package.
