Vision plans are utilized to test vision acuity to determine whether a person requires the wearing of corrective lenses. Typically, there is a benefit provided for annual eye exams, lenses and frames, and contact lenses. The contact lenses benefit can be elected in lieu of lenses and frames.

For problems of the eyes related to diseases (glaucoma, cataracts, tear duct maladies, etc.) and injuries, your medical insurance plan would provide the benefits to cover those problems.
