Extra Savings
You can receive 20% savings on additional glasses and sunglasses, including lens enhancements, from any VSP provider within 12 months of your last eye examination.

Computer Vision Care (Employee Only)
Benefit allows one pair of CVC glasses each calendar year for employees. Dependents are not covered for CVC glasses.

Retinal Screening
The VSP Plans include a retinal screening for an additional $20 copay during your routine eye exam.

As part of a comprehensive eye exam, a thorough retinal screening can detect early signs of numerous diseases that affect not only your eyes and your sight, but also your overall health. Digital retinal imaging helps your doctor find possible signs of a number of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, hypertension or retinal detachment. Ask your provider for more information during your annual eye exam.

Employee-Only Laser Eye Surgery
The employee-only laser eye surgery benefit is covered under the VSP 2.0 Plan. The plan pays $1,000 per eye per lifetime. VSP's Laser VisionCare Program provides you with discounts for PRK, LASIK, and Custom LASIK, with an average of 15% off, or 5% off if the laser center is offering a promotional price.

Pay less at Costco

About 80% of Costco’s frames are priced at $70 or less. The frame allowance is $115 (instead of $210) on the 1.0 Plan and $135 (instead of $250) on the 2.0 Plan.

Be sure to identify yourself as having VSP so that Costco Optical or the optometrist will know to bill VSP directly. Otherwise, you will have to submit an out-of-network claim for reimbursement.

Not all optometrists located at Costco are contracted with VSP. Only 66% of the optometrists at Costco are contracted, so be sure to double check.
