I've been using VSP now for about 5 or 6 years and they've been absolutely amazing.
Without VSP I wouldn't be able to see. I just couldn't afford glasses on my own.
Like another reviewer, I was skeptical when an optometrist recommended VSP coverage.

I have had VSP for many years now. Previously through my employer, now, due to retirement, I am paying on my own. I get the best care at the right price.
While employed the company I worked for had VSP as part of my health insurance. I was very pleased with the coverage so when I retired I purchased it for myself.
I love, love VSP. My most recent appointment was the first one I had with VSP. I paid $258 for my appointment and new glasses that included the designer frames, progressive lenses, anti-glare coating and upgrade to lighter weight lenses. I had them check how much my last appointment was. It was $560. VSP is awesome.
I asked when renewing my yearly affordable care act medical if there was a separate eye insurance number? I called and was enrolled. Prior to resigning from a job I had for (14) years in 2019 I had no eye insurance. I am thankful I do now.
VSP saves me a lot of money. I only paid $140 out of pocket. VSP is a fantastic plan to have especially if you're tight on money.
VSP has saved me a considerable amount of money buying eyeglasses. Without insurance, I would have paid $1,000 for my frames and lenses. Very grateful to have this affordable insurance!
VSP has been a life saver. You had helped me out a whole lot. I had to go to the eye doctor this year for an eye exam. I need a new pair of eyeglasses. I had to pay only $8.00 dollars for my eye exam and eyeglasses because of the credit. It is good to have VSP.
I'm very pleased with my plan. It was great to get an eye exam and glasses for a great price. I loved my Dr was wanting to be seen by her. My insurance made it possible.
Without VSP I wouldn't be able to see. I just couldn't afford glasses on my own. With my new glasses, I have a whole new world to explore. Before I was constantly getting headaches. My eyes hurt all the time, words were blurry, I couldn't read anything, and driving was horrible. I was just so frustrated with the whole situation, then my daughter told me about VSP it literally changed my world.

I've been using VSP now for about 5 or 6 years and they've been absolutely amazing. I've been wearing glasses for 35 years and the past years with VSP has changed everything for my eyes. I didn't know what to expect with access to Optometrist and was beyond surprised with the Optometrist in their network. As a matter of fact, the last two Optometrist I've had while using VSP has been the greatest level of care and diagnosis in the past 35 years of wearing glasses. I have an astigmatism and keratoeonus, so the lenses I need are special and more expensive than the average lens. VSP allows me to get the best lenses available so I can see as clear as possible at an affordable price. I've recommended VSP to several friends and they started using them and couldn't be happier.

We appreciate the low premium payments each month. But we really appreciate that we can now afford to get the proper eye care that we need and get new glasses without breaking the bank.

Like another reviewer, I was skeptical when an optometrist recommended VSP coverage. I asked him what the catch was, and he said there wasn’t a catch. After years of paying high prices for necessary eyewear, I decided I would try it for a year, and this small investment saved me about $500 right off the bat! I was so happy, I purchased VSP coverage for another family and we just renewed our plans. My employer does offer coverage, but it does not compare to VSP. I highly recommend this coverage to anyone, whether they need prescription eyewear or not.

I retired over two years ago and lost my vision plan. I could have kept it; however, the cost was too much for the substandard policy. I did my research, and found VSP. The coverage is topnotch, and I could not ask for any better. The greatest perk is the cost of the plan. Now, my fiance and I have the same coverage, and could not be happier. I would recommend VSP to anyone looking for excellent policy and A+ rates!
