Whether you want sunglasses for when you’re outside, blue light glasses for when you’re inside, or just plain frames that go with your favorite outfit you can still use VSP for savings.
All VSP policyholders have access to 20% of savings on any pair of non-prescription standard glasses or sunglasses (in addition to your covered two prescription pairs), the only prerequisite is that you’ve had a vision exam within the past year. Which, might be some incentive to get your eyes checked even if you have 20/20 vision.
Do I need to Get my Eyes Checked if I see Just Fine?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is, yes, definitely!
When you get an eye exam, sure, they’re definitely checking to see if you can read various sizes of letters, but they’re also checking for glaucoma, muscle weakness, diabetes, and much more. An in-network vision exam is covered completely by VSP, and depending on where you go could take as little as 15 minutes.
Non-Prescription Glasses Options
With VSP, you have access to Eyeconic, VSP’s online store. Through their site, you’re able to get 20-30% off major name brand glasses. All you need to do is click “use my insurance” on the top right before you start shopping. Once you’ve found the pair you want, add them to your cart and the discount will be applied at checkout!
If you’d rather shop in person, you can still get 20-30% off, but you’ll need to go to an in-network provider (find one here) and tell them you’d like to use VSP while you’re checking out. They’ll place the order for you with the discount already applied!
Additional Savings with VSP
VSP frequently offers deals to their members. As of April 30th, there’s currently a deal offering an additional 10% off sunglasses through Eyeconic if you use the promo code: MEMBERSUN10.
