Vision benefits

Employees are 4 times more likely to visit their eye care provider than their primary care provider.¹ Conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure — even some kinds of cancer — may be first discovered in a routine eye exam.² Because eye health is an integral part of overall health, a quality vision plan may help employees get and stay healthier, with the goal of lowering costs for everyone.

Get a closer look at vision benefits details

Broad, diverse network access

Employees get an array of choices for eye care, including private practices, online options and popular retailers like Warby Parker, GlassesUSA™, Costco®, Sam’s Club™, America’s Best®, Walmart®, Target® and LensCrafters®.

Potentially lower costs

Fully insured employers with group sizes between 2 and 100 may see additional savings when they offer UnitedHealthcare Vision alongside their UnitedHealthcare medical and/or other specialty plans through our uBundle® and Packaged Savings® programs.

Maternity and pediatric benefits

Because vision may change frequently during pregnancy and childhood, our vision plans include additional maternity and pediatric benefits, such as coverage for a second eye exam per plan year and new glasses if vision changes reach a certain threshold in a plan year.

Discounts on frames, lenses and contacts

In addition to savings of 20% to 60% off retail frames and lenses, employees may also qualify for discounted contact lenses and laser vision correction.
