Is it Worth It to Purchase Vision Insurance?

Pam Morton • February 15, 2025

Before you buy Vision Insurance, here are things to consider

It depends on your needs. If you buy expensive glasses or contacts regularly, a vision plan can be a great value. But before purchasing, consider these factors:


🔎 Check Discount Programs


Many optical centers (like Costco or LensCrafters) offer built-in discounts, which may save you money without vision insurance.


👀 Does Your Health Plan Offer Vision Benefits?
Some health plans, like Kaiser, cover eye exams and offer optical discounts—no separate vision plan needed!


💡 What to Look for in a Vision Plan:


✔ Frame & contact lens allowance
✔ Exam & eyewear frequency
✔ Lens enhancement discounts
✔ Retail, online & doctor’s office options

Most people bundle vision with dental insurance, but shopping around is key!

HSAs are considered tax-advantaged for employees because contributions reduce their taxable income. This is true even if the money in the HSA account earns interest or investment returns over time. As long as the funds are used for qualified medical expenses, employees will not owe taxes when they withdraw money from their HSAs.

If you have only a few employees, you might think that you don't need to develop an employee handbook. But when you consider that the handbook works as both a communication and a compliance tool, it's easy to see that the size of your business is irrelevant.
