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

We are retired and were in need of vision insurance. VSP had a good premium price and paid for my whole year of contacts.
I am so impressed with VSP. I didn’t have vision insurance and was wondering how I was going to go to the eye doctor, but VSP saved me so much money that it took the stress away. I would recommend VSP, it is worth it!
I had VSP at work, when I retired I lost my insurance, so got my own insurance. Had to get a new eye doctor, I found a new one with VSP doctors.
I retired and list my group vision plan. Our optometrist recommended VSP, I went online and signed up. The automatic payments were made but we never received any sort of confirmation until I explored the website and found where I could download and print our membership cards. When we scheduled our yearly check-up, I was apprehensive but then I was amazed. Checkup and new glasses for my wife and I cost me less than $150 out of pocket. My group insurance would have cost ten times that amount. I am well pleased.
I joined VSP when the technician at my eye doctor told me about the benefits and savings that I would receive. That was 5 years ago and I am very happy that I joined.
I am retired, so I am on limited income. Affordable premiums and choices. Great services. Variety of choices also variety of networks.
Unfortunately, I did not continue my VSP policy upon retirement. This was a huge mistake! The past couple of years I have paid hundreds out-of-pocket for eye exams and lenses. Now that I have return to the best eye care provider, I have one less thing to stress about in my retirement.
I had VSP when I was still working. It was fairly easy to convert to a personal plan once I retired. Since then my wife and I have saved quite a bit on glasses, frames, and eye exams.
I had VSP at my previous job and loved it. When I was left to find my own insurance I knew VSP was the best option. I have referred friends to your website also! Thank you.
I’ve been really happy with my VSP vision plan. I’ve been with VSP for many years as I am self pay. The coverage on frames and lenses is generous, and I love that I can choose from a wide variety of styles without breaking my budget. The claims process was simple and transparent, and my provider handled everything for me. Overall, VSP has made taking care of my eyes easy and affordable, and I’d gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable vision insurance.
I was so relieved that I could get the glasses I want with minimal payment.
I am grateful that I enrolled in VSP. I have told my friends and it is easy dealing with the doctors having this insurance.
