Vision Coverage

My Favorites

Your eyes are critical to your overall health. Take advantage of our vision coverage through Anthem Blue View Vision. You may select any eye care provider you choose, but we highly encourage you to see an in-network provider and save on out-of-pocket costs.

With your Blue View Vision plan, you get access to one of the largest vision networks in the country — including LensCrafters, Target Optical, Pearle Vision, and more. You can even use your in-network benefits online at Glasses.com, ContactsDirect.com, and Ray-Ban.com.

Extra benefits for kids

If you elect Employee + Children vision coverage, your plan includes coverage for UV-blocking Transitions lenses and impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses for dependents under 19 at no additional cost!

Vision Coverage that Works for You

Good news—there will be no changes to your vision plan or rates for 2026. Don’t forget to use your annual allowance for frames or contact lenses. You’ll save more and get a higher allowance when you choose in-network providers.
