Vision insurance typically helps people pay for one eye exam and one pair of eyeglasses or supply of contact lenses per year. These plans vary by eyewear allowance. Many vision insurance plans cover frames, lenses and contacts up to a specific dollar amount and provide an additional discount off the balance.

With a vision of providing access to high-quality, cost-effective eye care to the world, a group of optometrists founded VSP in 1955. More than 60 years later, that vision has evolved into providing world-class products and services to eye care professionals, employers, and more than 80 million members worldwide.

Regular medical health insurance protects you from unexpected costs for eye injury or disease. In contrast, vision insurance provides an added wellness benefit for healthy eye exams, which includes routine eye care, prescription eyewear and contact lenses, and other vision services at a reduced cost.
