Basic and Advanced Vision Plans for Proactive Coverage
You may find that your employer offers you vision coverage. If not, you can opt to carry your own plan (which is possible and extremely affordable). When you select the insurance coverage you want, you may face various choices (including the decision to enroll in a plan at all).
Typically, carriers offer two types of vision plans — advanced, for the “tougher stuff” including detached retinas, glaucoma treatments or laser therapy, and basic, for the regular checkups and glasses you have or may need in the future.
Do you need a vision plan? A vision plan offers proactive health care options, no matter what your current needs are. Regular checkups allow you to stay on top of any changes in your vision. Those visits will ultimately cost you less than a major, neglected discovery would.
