*In general, members who enroll in Vision coverage and terminate the coverage before the end of the plan year (the 12-month period beginning with the effective date of their coverage) will be ineligible to reapply until 12 months after the termination date. However, if the member wishes to reapply within 12 months of the termination date and can provide proof of creditable coverage under another Vision plan, this provision may be waived, allowing the member to reapply.

We will not refund any part of your premium except in the event of a death of the policyholder. Once you have been accepted and payment has been received, the premium will not be refunded for any reason other than the death of the policyholder.

1Most popular lens enhancements include progressives, anti-reflective, polycarbonate, plastic dyes, and UV protection. All other lens enhancements also available at 20% off.

2Based on applicable laws; benefits may vary by location.

3Discounts valid through any VSP network doctor within 12 months of the last covered eye exam.

4Less any applicable copay.

5Custom LASIK coverage only available using wavefront technology with the microkeratome surgical device. Other LASIK procedures may be performed at an additional cost to the member.

6The VSP Laser VisionCare Program is a discount plan only. Discounts only apply to services received from a VSP participating laser center. No monetary benefits are payable to members under this program.

7$100 allowance is a combined allowance toward the purchase of contact lenses and the contact lens exam.

VSP LightCare™: If a vision examination does not result in a need for corrective vision material, you may use your vision materials benefits (frame and lens) to purchase non-prescription sunglasses from a participating provider's frame board. Non-prescription sunglasses purchased under this benefit exhaust your frame and lens benefits for the frequency period. This means if you use this benefit to purchase non-prescription sunglasses, you are not eligible for additional vision materials benefits until the completion of the next frequency period.

VSP KidsCare: To address the eye care and eyewear needs of active and growing children, the KidsCare benefit allows for full coverage (after any applicable copay) of two complimentary eye exams and one pair of glasses per plan year, plus savings on additional lenses, frames, repair plans and purchase balances that exceed the retail allowance. If a child's vision changes by at least .50 diopter during the plan year, replacement lenses also are fully covered (after any applicable copay). Fully covered lens choices include child-friendly, impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, an option for photochromic adaptive (ultraviolet light-blocking) lenses and lenses that have other enhancements.
