Benefits, copays and allowances depend on your individual plan and require verification.
Make sense of your vision benefits.
What your plan may include
Depending on your plan, benefits may cover:
- Annual comprehensive eye exams
- Designer frames and prescription lenses
- Lens enhancements, such as anti-glare, blue light protection and transitions
- Contact lenses and fittings
Check when your benefits reset.
Most vision benefits reset annually, and unused benefits do not roll over. Our team can help you understand your benefits and make the most of your plan.
Not sure which vision plan you have?
Health insurers often partner with vision providers. Even if your card names a health insurer or your provider is not listed here, you may have benefits through one of our accepted vision plans.
Your vision benefits may appear under one of these company names:
- AARP
- Aetna
- Ameritas
- BlueCross BlueShield
- Guardian
- Lincoln Financial
- MetLife
- Mutual of Omaha
- Principal
- Unum
Clear starting points
Self-pay exam & testing fees
The eye exam is $99. Contact lens exam fees are added to that amount; retinal imaging and visual field testing are an additional $39.
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Eye exam | $99 |
| Spherical contact lens exam | + $75 |
| Toric contact lens exam | + $120 |
| Multifocal / monovision contact lens exam | + $150 |
| Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens exam | + $150 |
| Retinal imaging + visual field testing | + $39 |
A plus sign means an additional fee. Contact lens exam fees are in addition to the $99 eye exam. Insurance benefits and your out-of-pocket cost require individual verification.
