VisionChoice ® - You will see the savings!

VisionChoice® is an eyecare savings plan designed to significantly lower the costs associated with eye care when received from a participating VisionChoice® Provider! VisionChoice® eliminates the sticker shock associated with the cost of exams and glasses because participating providers have agreed to offer their services at prices considerable lower than their normal fees. Members may use the plan as often as they like!
