VSP provides the vision coverage I need at a cost I can afford for both my lovely wife and I.

I enrolled because I did not have eye care insurance. The process was done quickly over the phone. The eye care provider I am using accepts it. The plan was affordable and worth it. There were not any issues during this journey. I am pleased and recommend VSP.
I've worn glasses for 60 years so I had become accustomed to paying for them on my own. I found VSP several years ago and it is wonderful. I pay once a year. My Rx is complicated. And the more problems you have, the more expensive in can be. VSP pays about 2/3 of my bill. I highly recommend them.
VSP has saved me hundreds of dollars on glasses over the years, and I've kept it even after retirement. The annual fee is the same as the cost of my annual exam, so all the discounts after that are "gravy".
VSP is the first vision insurance I have had. I needed to get up to date on my eye care, new glasses, lenses, exam, etc. I started with a very basic and affordable plan. The price per month worked for me. After all the services were done, I saved about 48% on the total cost! My eyes are good to go.
I believe I originally enrolled thru an employer but continued as an individual plan holder when I retired so I have been with VSP for years. VSP is THE most painless, affordable insurance coverage I've ever had. And the few times I have needed customer service I have received a prompt response from an actual human. They encourage me to maintain regular eye exams (even more important as we age), and have taken much of the sting out of the cost of new eyeglasses; particularly important as everything around us gets more expensive & we are trying to survive on a fixed income. They are unquestionably a good bargain that everyone should take advantage of, whether you are retired like me or have a young, growing family.
I enrolled in the plan because my Advantage plan did not cover my Eye Doctor who I have been with for years. VSP covered so much of my bill it made my life much easier.
VSP has been very helpful after retiring and needing a vision plan. It has definitely saved us money along with receiving excellent eye care and glasses. Very grateful for VSP vision plan.
I enrolled because I didn’t have eye insurance and VSP coverage is good to have and I didn’t have to spend a lot of money for my glasses and lenses. Service is excellent.
Medicare doesn't cover vision as I am retired so VSP has given me the coverage I needed and saved me money. It has been great so far!
VSP has been the best choice for me for last couple of years. I have been able to get a great deal for my glasses. I’m glad I was recommended this vision care. Definitely will recommend to others.
I am very glad that I enrolled in VSP. As a person now on a fixed monthly income, being enrolled in a VSP plan has been very helpful. VSP helps to allow yearly vision checkups with the help of being insured. One suggestion I would like to offer is to yearly send out information regarding the different plans offered by VSP and the costs as to allow the member to decide if an upgrade/change in coverage is needed.
I enrolled over 30 years ago while I was teaching. After retiring, I continued with VSP. The discounts save me over 50%. I do wish you would offer $200 towards frames. That the greatest cost to me. Otherwise, love my savings!
