I had VSP while working and continued after retirement. I've had the same great Optometrist for years and have been able to get fashionable frames. I would recommend VSP to anyone needing insurance for quality eye care.

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.

I had VSP while working and continued after retirement. I've had the same great Optometrist for years and have been able to get fashionable frames. I would recommend VSP to anyone needing insurance for quality eye care.
I had VSP through my employer for many years. When I retired I was pleased to discover I was able to purchase a VSP plan of my own. I always depend on it when purchasing my glasses.
I continued with VSP after I retired & grateful that I did. My husband & I have our vision checked every year & we purchase glasses as well. It's a great insurance plan and certainly helps that we don't have to pay the entire amount since everything has gone up in price.
We retired & spent the last year going to another eye place based on a medical requirement of insurance. We have since left that & came back to VSP, which we had for 30 years. We are glad to be back.
The plan cuts my eye glasses/exam cost in half! I would save more, but I get all the bells and whistles - tint, non-scratch and such. It's an excellent insurance.
I continue to use VSP as my vision insurance because of the ease of use, benefits it offers & simplicity. Enrolled for 3rd year now & even added my child this time. Very pleased with it.
I love my VSP plan! I had group eye coverage for about 20 years and my VSP is so helpful now that I’ve retired. It saved me over $300 on my glasses. Thank you VSP!
I had this at my job. I left that job and had a check up. Didn't get my glasses because of the price. I signed up for individual plan and saved about $500. Best money you will ever spend. I pay annually and it still saves me a lot of money.
It was a positive experience in which I paid $0 for New Colored Contacts, 3 pk. I also received 80 percent off a pair of new glasses using my VSP Insurance.
My company did not offer vision coverage. I reached out to VSP for an individual plan. The plan cost was very reasonable. Many eye care facilities take VSP, and the coverage (depending on what plan you choose) helps with the cost of glasses, etc. I am very happy with my coverage.
My recent visit was great. Everything went well got a great pair of glasses and at a great price. Thanks to VSP. Thanks again for the service you provide. See you again next year.
I had VSP through my former employer and decided to purchase personal VSP coverage after leaving my previous job. I appreciate how my monthly premiums have not changed for several years and I know that I will always save enough from my annual eye exam and contact purchase to justify my annual VSP expense.
