Vision Plan
The Vision Plan gives employees the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars every year on the cost of eyeglasses, contacts, lens enhancements, and more. The plan also covers an annual routine eye exam to help support vision health.
Annual eye exams and proper, up-to-date vision eyewear contribute to good vision health. As one of the ways in which we help to support the well-being of employees, the Board of Pensions partners with VSP to offer the Vision Plan to employers of any size, at little or no cost to your organization. The Vision Plan covers an annual routine eye exam and gives employees the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars every year on eyewear.
