Vision
Enhancing Your View
Your eyes are another window to your overall health. An early vision exam can help detect the early stages of diabetes, high blood pressure, and more. The VSP vision plans cover you and your covered dependents for routine eye exam, frames, and lenses or contacts. You can choose to visit any provider; however, you will save money when you visit an in-network provider. Find an in-network provider at vsp.com.
