Vision Insurance That Keeps Your Eye Doctor Covered
An eye exam only helps if your eye doctor is actually in network. Meet Med Plans checks provider network match first, so you keep the optometrist you trust, then compares coverage for glasses, contacts, and LASIK discounts.
What Does Vision Insurance Cover?
Annual Eye Exams
Most vision plans cover one comprehensive eye exam per year at little to no cost-sharing. This includes refraction testing, glaucoma screening, and a full assessment of your eye health by a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist.
Prescription Eyeglasses
Vision plans provide an annual allowance toward frames and lenses. Many plans also include discounts on lens upgrades such as anti-reflective coatings, progressive lenses, photochromic lenses, and blue-light blocking options.
Contact Lenses
Rather than using the glasses allowance, most plans allow you to apply a similar benefit toward contact lenses — including the fitting exam, trial lenses, and an annual supply of disposables or extended-wear contacts.
LASIK & Corrective Surgery Discounts
Most major vision plans include discounts of 15–30% on LASIK, PRK, and other laser corrective eye procedures through in-network providers. LASIK can be expensive without insurance; vision plan discounts can save you significantly.
Additional Benefits
Discounts on additional pairs of glasses, online eyewear retailer access (Warby Parker, Zenni, etc.), blue light filter and specialty lens upgrades, and kids' eyewear programs with extra coverage.
What to Know About Vision Plan Rates
Given that a single eye exam plus basic glasses can be expensive, most people find vision coverage pays for itself quickly.
Is Vision Insurance Worth It?
If you wear glasses or contacts, vision insurance almost always pays for itself within the first 3–4 months. Even for individuals with perfect vision, the annual eye exam alone — which can detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension, and macular degeneration — often justifies the monthly amount. Think of your vision plan less as an insurance product and more as a membership that makes comprehensive eye care affordable year-round.
Vision + Dental Bundles
Most clients find it smart to bundle dental and vision coverage together. Meet Med Plans offers combination plans that bundle both at an affordable rate — significantly less than purchasing two separate plans. Ask your agent about bundle options when you request your free quote.
