Better Vision Benefits for a Healthier Workforce

Why Vision Coverage Matters for Your Employees

Vision coverage is a valuable part of a well-rounded employee benefits program. Regular eye exams can help employees maintain healthy vision and may identify potential health concerns early. By helping reduce the cost of exams, glasses, and contact lenses, vision benefits make routine eye care more accessible while giving employees another meaningful reason to value their overall benefits program.

What Vision Plans Typically Cover

Vision plans can vary by provider, but most typically help cover:

• Routine eye exams – Regular exams to monitor vision and overall eye health
• Prescription eyeglasses – Coverage or allowances for frames and lenses
• Contact lenses – Allowances toward prescription contacts, often in place of glasses
• Lens options – Some plans may include or discount options such as progressive, bifocal, or specialty lenses
• Discounts on additional eyewear – Savings on extra pairs of glasses, sunglasses, or other eyewear
• LASIK or corrective vision discounts – Some plans offer reduced pricing on elective vision correction procedures

Coverage varies by plan, and Braaten & Company can help you compare options to find vision benefits that fit your employees’ needs and your company’s budget.
