International Conference on Cataract & Refractive Surgery May 24-25, 2018 Osaka, Japan

Vision insurance and vision plans (such as VSP and Eye Med) can significantly lower your charge of eye care and prescription eyewear.

 

Though "vision insurance" is the term commonly used to describe plans that reduce the cost of eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, etc., in most cases, costs associated with these eye-related services and products are shielded instead by stand-alone vision plans that are more precisely described as annual wellness benefits or discount plans.

 

An exemption to this is cataract surgery and other medically necessary eye surgery, which typically is covered by major medical and health insurance plans. (LASIK and other elective vision correction surgery usually are excluded from medical insurance plans, but discounts for these procedures may be included in vision and wellness plans.)
