Vision Insurance

Employees may participate in an optional vision care plan from MetLife Vision by paying the monthly premium. There is a standard vision plan and a premium vision plan. Both vision care plans provide coverage for prescription lenses and frames, contact lenses (in lieu of eyeglasses), and a complete annual eye exam. Under the plans, you can visit an optometrist within the MetLife Vision network or you may choose to visit an out-of-network provider, which may result in higher out-of-pocket costs.

Premium Plan

The Premium Plan provides coverage for prescription lenses and frames, contact lenses (in lieu of eyeglasses), and a complete annual eye exam. You can visit an optometrist within the MetLife network or you may choose to visit an out-of-network provider, which may result in higher out-of-pocket costs.

Additional Benefits

Compared to the Standard Plan, the Premium Plan offers these enhanced benefits.

  • Lower copays on exams and glasses.
  • More frequent purchase of new glasses.
  • Higher allowable covered costs on glasses or contacts.
