Guardian vision for you
What is vision insurance?
Vision insurance provides coverage for routine eye exams, as well as offering discounts on eyeglasses and contacts. These benefits are not typically covered under major medical plans, and are an elective part of your overall wellness checkups
Why get a vision care plan?
More and more people are making sure they have access to quality vision care. Since regular eye exams can detect diseases like glaucoma, diabetes, and blindness, enrolling in a vision insurance plan makes good sense.
Whether you have perfect vision or need corrective lenses, preventive eye care is an important part of your overall health. In fact, recent studies suggest that 75% of us use vision correction, and nearly 64% choose eyeglasses.1 At some point in your life, you’ll likely need vision correction.
- Why adults need eye care insurance
More than 83% of Americans report using digital devices for more than 2 hours per day, and 60% report digital eye strain.1 - Why children need eye care insurance
Poor eyesight can lead to misdiagnosis of learning and psychiatric disorders which can result in behavioral problems.2
How much does vision insurance cost?
For just a few dollars a month you can have access to savings on important exams and materials.
What is voluntary vision insurance?
Additionally, your employer may offer vision as a voluntary benefit – insurance plans for employees that are provided at little to no cost to the employer. Voluntary benefits enable you to enroll in valuable coverage at significantly lower rates than you would pay as an individual, and help you cover expenses that may not be paid for by other types of insurance.
