Vision health impacts overall health Eye health exams are an important part of routine preventive healthcare. Because many eye and vision conditions have no obvious symptoms, your employees may be unaware of problems. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for maintaining good vision and preventing permanent vision loss. 1 Vision care is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eye exams can detect symptoms of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. 2 According to the Vision Council of America, vision problems affect 120 million Americans and cost businesses an estimated $8 billion annually because of reduced productivity. National network provides real savings Employees have access to one of the largest vision networks in the United States, with more than 35,000 participating provider locations. They ll be able to use their benefits at some of the top names in eye care, including LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, and JCPenney Optical in addition to the many independent optometrists and ophthalmologists. Plus, your employees save on eyewear. Their out of pocket cost is based on wholesale pricing for frames, avoiding high retail markups, and may benefit with fixed pricing for most lens options including anti-reflective and scratchresistant coatings. What does this mean to your employees? With fixed pricing, employees may pay the same price for eyewear at any provider location.
