Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between VSP Vision Insurance and medical insurance?

VSP Vision Insurance is designed to cover routine eye care services, such as regular eye exams and prescription glasses or contact lenses. Medical insurance, on the other hand, covers medical treatment for eye diseases or injuries. While VSP Vision Insurance can help cover the cost of some medical services, such as diabetic eye exams, it does not cover major medical procedures, such as cataract surgery.

What is included in a comprehensive eye exam?

A comprehensive eye exam includes a series of tests and procedures to evaluate your vision and the health of your eyes. The exam may include:

  • A visual acuity test to measure how well you can see at a distance and up close
  • A refraction test to determine your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses
  • An eye pressure test to screen for glaucoma
  • A dilation test to examine the retina and optic nerve for signs of disease or damage

Can I use my VSP Vision Insurance benefits to purchase glasses or contact lenses online?

Yes, VSP Vision Insurance offers a range of online retailers, including Glasses.com and ContactsDirect, where you can use your benefits to purchase glasses or contact lenses. You can also use your benefits to purchase glasses or contact lenses at any in-network optical retailer.

How often should I have a comprehensive eye exam?

VSP Vision Insurance covers a comprehensive eye exam once every 12 months. However, your eye doctor may recommend more frequent exams based on your age, health, and risk for eye disease.

What should I do if I need to see an eye doctor right away?

If you need to see an eye doctor right away, you can use VSP’s Find a Doctor tool to locate an in-network provider near you. You can also call VSP’s customer service hotline for assistance.
