Vision coverage can be obtained in various ways, depending on the needs of the client: as a stand-alone vision discount plan, as a stand-alone vision insurance plan, or as a plan attached to a medical plan or dental plan. Coverage typically includes eyeglasses, contacts, eye exams and surgical procedures from ophthalmologists, optometrists, independent optical centers and national chain locations such as Pearle Vision, JC Penney Optical, Sears Optical, LensCrafters, and EyeMasters stores.
