The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be concerning, especially for families with multiple children. Thankfully, vision insurance can lower these expenses in many cases.
A vision insurance policy is not the same as medical insurance. While regular medical health insurance plans protect you against financial losses from unexpected eye injuries or disease, vision insurance is a wellness benefit to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a lowered cost.
