According to a 2015 survey conducted by the American Optometric Association, nearly 30% of respondents have skipped seeing an eye doctor due to budgetary concerns. But studies have shown that as you age, your chance of vision problems increase, ranging from dry, itchy eyes to floating “spots” in your eye-sight, which can lead to much more serious conditions.
Vision insurance is a supplement to regular health insurance, and many vision plans include routine eye exams, plus coverage for glasses, contacts, Lasik surgery, and more. Without a plan in place, the potential cost of caring for your eyes can be high, especially for families, so it’s important that you factor this plan in when determining your coverage.
