Optional Vision Benefits
Vision insurance is a popular optional benefit that employers can offer to employees and their dependents. Coverage is typically paid by those who choose to enroll, making it a flexible and cost-effective addition to a benefits package.
Providing access to routine eye care and updated eyewear promotes employees’ health while also giving employers a strategic advantage. Offering vision coverage demonstrates a commitment to well-being, which helps attract and retain skilled staff in a competitive labor market. 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, and weight fluctuations.
Protecting eyes through annual screenings and ensuring access to corrective or protective eyewear supports employee health, reduces preventable vision problems, and can help limit missed workdays. These benefits are important to both employees and employers, creating a healthier, more productive workforce.
Vision insurance typically covers eye exams and provides a set contribution toward the cost of contact lenses or other eyewear. Some policies also include surgical benefits for eye illnesses or injuries, providing employees with additional financial protection when it is needed most.
