Vision

You have two vision care options, both provided through Vision Service Plan (VSP): the VSP Signature Plan and the VSP Signature Plus Plan. Both plans cover eye exams, lenses, frames, and contact lenses at special rates. The main difference between the two plans is that the Signature Plus Plan covers new frames every 12 months instead of every 24 months, and it also allows you to choose one of five upgrades through VSP EasyOptions (see chart below).
