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!
