Vision care goes beyond clear eyesight to playing an important part in your overall health when combined with medical coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois.
VISION BENEFITS
See Why You Need Vision Insurance
Healthy Vision
Regular eye exams help keep your eyes healthy and your vision sharp. They determine how well your eyes are functioning and if you need prescription eyewear. Diseases, both eye-related and non-eye-related, can be detected early through a comprehensive eye exam.
Overall Health
Eye exams play an important role in your overall wellness. Besides measuring your vision, regular eye exams can help identify early signs of certain chronic health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol.
Expansive Network
Our large network of both independent and national retail providers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Target Optical and more, give you a host of popular and reliable options to choose from when caring for your eyes.
Money Savings
We offer discounts for a variety of vision–related products and services, including frames, lenses, contacts and more. It’s another way we make it simple for members to get the most out of their vision insurance and reduce costs.
