The high costs of regular eye exams, subsequent treatment, and prescription eyewear can be of real concern to our patients, especially ones with large families. You might be able to get some of these expenses covered by getting vision insurance for yourself or, perhaps, a better understanding of the plan you already have or your company provides. Our
local Evanston optometrist at Visual Eyes accepts many insurance plans toward payment for services. Vision insurance policies normally cover routine eye exams and other procedures, and offer exact dollar amounts or discounts for the purchase of eyeglasses and contact lenses. Certain vision insurance policies offer discounts on refractive surgery, such as LASIK, as well. Vision insurance only supplements regular health insurance but is designed to lower your costs for regular, preventive eye care such as eye exams, eyewear and various other services.

Eye-care insurance really is a very important part of health coverage because people simply don’t take care of their eyes as well as they should. According to statistics from the American Optometric Association, over-exposure to the sun’s UV rays can result in cataracts, macular degeneration and even skin cancer around the eyelids. A healthier lifestyle and regular eye care can help lower risks of damage and illness. Our
local Evanston optometrist understands the security of not only having eye-care insurance but having it accepted helps as well.
