Vision Plans

You have two options when it comes to caring for your and your family's eyes.


Basic Vision

Basic Vision benefits are included in both health plans and feature:

  • Vision screenings and examinations for prescribing glasses or for determining the refractive state of the eyes (specialty office visit co-pay for PPO plan or coinsurance after deductible is applied for HDHP)*
  • One pair of eyeglasses or one contact lens per affected eye following cataract surgery

*Due to Provider Based Billing, you will be charged a facility fee in addition to any co-pay and/or coinsurance.


Supplemental Vision

Supplemental Vision is offered through an EyeMed package for an additional premium. You'll receive the most from this benefit when you use an in-network provider from EyeMed's large network including:

  • Target Optical
  • LensCrafters
  • All About Eyes
  • Chittick Eyecare

You can also purchase online from Glasses.com and Contacts Direct. For a complete list of providers near you, use the Provider Locator on eyemedvisioncare.com and choose the SELECT network or call (866) 299-1358. For LASIK Providers, call (877) 5LASER6. At this time Carle providers aren't in-network through EyeMed.

 This plan may be right for you if:

  • you or your family members need coverage for contact lens, frames or lenses.
  • you need additional coverage for diabetic vision services.
  • you use another provider outside of Carle.
