Notes About Lenses and Frames

The total copay for lenses generally applies to both eyeglass lenses and/or frames. You may select from a variety of optional lens types, as outlined in the Health Benefits and Insurance SPD.

Lenses are considered medically necessary for certain eye conditions that prohibit the use of glasses, including aphakia, anisometropia, high ametropia, nystagmus and keratoconus.

If you purchase frames from Costco, the frame allowance is $135 for VSP Option A and $80 for VSP Option B.

Finding a VSP Provider

Employees and their covered dependents enrolled in the vision plan may receive services and supplies from the vision care provider of their choice. However, they will pay more when they use an out-of-network provider. Find a list of in-network providers on the VSP website.
