My company doesn't offer vision insurance. I had to branch out on my own. I always knew that VSP is top notch. I was pleasantly surprised that I found an individual plan through VSP that isn't costing me much. I've used it once and it was wonderful.
As an AARP member, you'll get custom benefits to help lower vision costs.

VSP provides the vision coverage I need at a cost I can afford for both my lovely wife and I.
I have medicare, but it doesn't provide the vision benefits I'm used to. VSP perfectly fits my budget.

My company doesn't offer vision insurance. I had to branch out on my own. I always knew that VSP is top notch. I was pleasantly surprised that I found an individual plan through VSP that isn't costing me much. I've used it once and it was wonderful.
Since retiring I was no longer eligible for VSP through my company, so I called VSP and got an individual plan for myself and my wife. We have both used it this year and it has saved us a lot of money especially on frames! It is great insurance!
I could not imagine paying for my eye exam and having to pay for new glasses without having VSP. I would have been out at least $1000. Very reasonable priced VSP, will never go without it.
My Wife & I are retired. Your plan allows us to maintain up-to-date affordable Vision Coverage, which is a blessing for us! We each get our vision checked once a year and purchase glasses and frames when appropriate. We are very appreciative of your vision plan!
I am retired and this is the insurance my company had which has always been good. Go for annual exams and about every other year get a pair of glasses spending minimal amount of money.
I am so glad I found this plan. My glasses was broken during work and I don’t have any back up glasses. My eyes are bad and can’t drive without glasses. I needed to change my glasses or switch it to contacts lenses. 1 week later after I had done my check up I find out I don’t have my vision included to my insurance. It was only my son that was covered. I thought I have it for both and it’s not but thankfully I did search for a vision plan right away and that’s where I find this plan as separate vision insurance plan. It is affordable so why not! It has good benefits too and discounts! Fast and easy. I save money $$$ instead of paying $560. I just pay $75 included with my every 6 months supply contact lenses. Thank you! I am sooo happy!
This was cheaper than when I was on a corporate plan! 3 years ago, I paid over $400 for prescription sunglasses. This year, it was $176 for the same thing! Totally worth it and telling retired friends who need vision plans.
As a recent retiree I no longer had eye care insurance. Went to get new glasses and it was going to cost me over $1,400. The receptionist told me about VSP so I went home and signed up. Came back an hour later and as a VSP customer, the bill was now $250! I was stunned by amount of money I saved. Thanks VSP!!!
I’m retired and I needed vision insurance and you were affordable for me. I’m new to the area I live in and you suggested an eye doctor for me, which I’m very happy with. They ordered my glasses that came in very quickly and I love them. The office handled all my insurance and was very professional.
I have had VSP for over 20 years. I am retired now and my Medicare insurance does not include my eye doctor and I do not want to change. VSP was my coverage while I worked and so I stayed with them, due to their great coverage.
I do not have eyewear insurance with Medicare. I always had VSP as part of my benefits package when I was working. VSP has saved me lots of money over the last 20+ years. I decided to join VSP again during my retirement years because it was affordable, easy to use, and saved me quite a bit of money on eye exams and eyewear.
My wife had a VSP plan at her workplace but retired. We purchased the plan since our prior experience offered us the piece of mind, eye care, and financial coverage we needed. Thanks for all the support and education concerning healthy vision.
