Vision Care Popularity

Your clients seek strategies to contain costs while enhancing their benefits package. Managed vision care programs offer a positive, value-added solution. Even groups that are cutting back on their benefits can add a low-cost vision care program to help soften the impact of higher deductibles, reduced benefits or cost-sharing measures. An effective managed vision care plan incorporating cost-containment and quality assurance features allows your clients to offer a highly appreciated, low-cost benefit to their employees.

Consider these factors:

• Vision care is a wellness benefit, meaning one does not have to be sick to use it, and it can improve the quality of life for many people.
• The "baby boomer" population is approaching the typical age for presbyopia - the loss of the eye's ability to change focus when viewing close objects; resultant demand for vision care from this group establishes its own powerful endorsement for vision care coverage.
• Comprehensive eye examinations help in early detection of ocular problems and medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
• Special Lenses and VDT eyewear are available for computer users to reduce the incidence of "computer vision syndrome" (blurred vision, eye discomfort and fatigue).
  

A well-designed plan offering discounted professional and materials fees and low administrative costs provides the most cost-effective benefit for employers seeking strategies that satisfy reduced expenditures, while also encouraging employee productivity and efficiency.
