Employers play a vital role in supporting eye health by offering optional vision benefits for staff and their dependents. About 60 percent of Americans wear contacts or glasses, and that number is expected to grow. Vision can change with age, lack of exercise, exposure to blue light from phones, TVs and computer screens, as well as weight fluctuations. Protecting eyes through routine annual screenings and ensuring employees and their dependents have access to corrective or protective eyewear is important for businesses and their staff.

Vision insurance provides coverage for eye care and eyewear, typically including a set amount for annual exams and a specified contribution toward the cost of contact lenses or other eyewear. Some policies also offer benefits for surgical procedures related to eye illnesses or injuries.

Professional Benefit Solutions is happy to help your business add optional vision insurance benefits so your employees and their dependents can access the care and resources they need to maintain healthy vision.
