Vision and eye care are critical components of your overall health and well-being. Whether your vision is 20\/20 or less than perfect, regular vision check-ups are important. We offer vision care benefits as part of our commitment to total health and wellness. You may register as a member on the VSP Vision website for more targeted provider results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose any optometrist you would like. However, under the vision plan, cost coverage is based on whether your optometrist is In-Network or Out-of-Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find In-Network providers, visit VPS Vision\u2019s website.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nService\/Feature<\/th> In-Network<\/th> Out-of-Network<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> WellVision Exam<\/strong><\/td> 1 Every Calendar Year<\/td> 1 Every Calendar Year<\/td><\/tr> Contact Lens Exam, Fitting, & Eval<\/strong><\/td> 1 Every Calendar Year<\/td> Not Covered<\/td><\/tr> Lenses<\/strong>
