We offer individual and group vision plans covering exams, eyewear, contacts, and more. Here's what's typically included.
Comprehensive eye exams are typically covered annually with a $0–$10 copay. Exams check your prescription, screen for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and can detect systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension — making them one of the most valuable preventive health screenings for Iowa residents.
Most vision plans include a frame allowance ($130–$250+) every 12–24 months plus coverage for single vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses. Lens enhancements like anti-reflective coating, scratch resistance, and blue light filtering are often available at reduced cost through your plan.
Contact lens coverage typically includes a fitting exam plus an annual allowance ($130–$200+) for contacts, or a copay for conventional lenses. Plans cover both disposable and conventional contacts. Some plans offer higher allowances if you choose contacts instead of glasses — we help Iowa residents find the best option.
Many vision plans include discounts on LASIK and PRK corrective surgery — typically 15–50% off the retail price or a fixed discount per eye. While vision insurance doesn't cover the full cost of laser surgery, the discounts can save Iowa residents $1,000+ on these elective procedures.
Standalone vision plans for Iowa individuals and families who don't have employer-provided vision coverage. Plans are affordable — typically $10–$25/month for individual coverage. We compare options from 50+ carriers to find the plan with the best provider network and benefits for your area.
Employer-sponsored vision coverage for Iowa businesses. Group vision is one of the most affordable employee benefits — often just a few dollars per employee per month. Available as employer-paid, employee-paid, or shared contribution. A simple way to boost your benefits package without a big price tag.
Children's vision is critical for learning and development. The ACA requires pediatric vision coverage in marketplace plans, but many Iowa families benefit from additional standalone vision coverage. Plans cover annual exams, glasses, and contact lenses for children — catching vision problems early when they're most treatable.
Vision plan value depends heavily on whether your eye doctor is in-network. Major networks like VSP, EyeMed, and Superior Vision have different provider coverage across Iowa. We verify that your preferred eye doctor and eyewear retailer are in-network before recommending a plan.

Individual vision plans typically cost $10–$25/month. Family plans run $25–$50/month. Group vision for employers is often $5–$10/employee/month. The cost depends on plan type, benefits level, and Iowa location. Vision insurance almost always pays for itself if you wear glasses or contacts.

Most vision plans don't cover the full cost of LASIK or PRK surgery, but many offer significant discounts — typically 15–50% off retail price or a fixed dollar discount per eye. These discounts can save Iowa residents $1,000+ on corrective laser surgery through participating providers.
Original Medicare does not cover routine eye exams, glasses, or contacts. It only covers eye care related to medical conditions (like cataract surgery). Iowa seniors on Original Medicare need a standalone vision plan for routine eye care. Some Medicare Advantage plans include vision benefits.
Most vision plans provide a new frame and lens benefit every 12 or 24 months, depending on the plan. Contact lens benefits are typically annual. We help Iowa residents choose plans with benefit frequencies that match how often they update their eyewear.
