UPMC Vision Care

A clear-eyed choice Welcome to UPMC Vision Care. This UPMC Health Plan vision insurance product is administered by National Vision Administrators (NVA ) and comes with comprehensive member benefits and a vast network of credentialed eye doctors and eye care centers near you. You ll also get discounts on products and services that can save you money. Better still is what UPMC Vision Care can do for your eye health. A recent nationwide survey found that people with vision insurance plans are twice as likely to schedule an annual eye exam as those who do not have vision coverage. This is significant, because an eye exam is the only way to accurately check your eyesight then correct it if need be. Also, many eye diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, have no warning signs. An eye exam can detect these types of diseases in their early stages, when they are likely to be more treatable. That can give you serious peace of mind brought to you by UPMC Vision Care.
