Vision plan choices

For many, a vision plan with an exam is the right choice. Vision exams not only promote eye health but can also help identify some common medical conditions, such as high blood pressure.

For employers whose medical plans include a preventive eye exam, an eyewear only plan may be a good option. Even if your plan already includes an eye exam, offering Blue Cross Vision provides access to the savings of the Davis Vision network.

Plus, our vision plans can be offered on a voluntary basis — which means you pay some or even none of the premium. Whatever funding option you choose, your employees benefit from the discounts the plan provides.
