Vision insurance is a specialized health benefit that provides coverage for eye care services, helping to reduce the cost of routine eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, and sometimes corrective surgeries like LASIK. Policies typically include a network of eye care professionals and offer benefits such as annual eye exams, discounts on eyewear, and allowances for frames and lenses. Some plans also cover a portion of the cost for specialty eyewear and treatments for eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts. Vision insurance can be purchased individually or provided as part of an employer's benefits package. It is a valuable tool for maintaining eye health and catching vision problems early, ultimately contributing to overall well-being.
