The vision benefit has typically been seen as a way for employers to offer employees cost savings on vision services – such as eye exams and discounts on eyewear. However, a vision benefit is also an opportunity for employees to achieve eye health and overall wellness – helping them feel and perform better today, and down the road, while also positively impacting an employer's bottom line. That's because a vision health plan can reduce medical costs and increase productivity, while also contributing to employee attraction and retention.
Plus, a vision benefit is affordable, with annual dollars per employee spent on a premium plan just $70-80, compared with nearly $4,300 annual dollars spent on medical premiums.
