The world has gone digital, and we are staring at screens more than ever. Unfortunately, the eyes are the most crucial part of your body when viewing these images, so ensure they stay healthy throughout any age with vision insurance. As an employer investing in this coverage, your employees have a routine eye exam each year, as well as glasses or contact lenses if needed!
Group vision insurance policies generally help pay for routine eye exams and other procedures. Also, they provide discounts on the cost of devices such as glasses and contact lenses that allow people to use their eyesight optimistically. Finally, certain policies will help to cover the costs of corrective surgeries such as LASIK and PRK. Vision coverage usually includes access to a provider network containing ophthalmologists, optometrists, stores where glasses and frames can be purchased, laboratories and corrective vision surgeons, and discounts on routine eye care.
It’s a digital world. For most of us, a day doesn’t go by without using our eyes to read, scan, or view a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer screen. Unfortunately, that can lead to eye strain and potential long-term vision problems. For this reason alone, vision care is more important than ever.
Healthy vision is also an essential component of overall wellness. Regular eye exams can help uncover severe health conditions, like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, thyroid disorders, and more.
And because vision insurance is integral to a complete employee benefits package, it can also help attract and retain great employees.
