What is Vision Insurance?

Aflac’s vision insurance policy goes beyond traditional vision insurance plans by providing benefits for eye surgeries, specific eye diseases, and permanent visual impairment. Since there are no provider network stipulations, you'll have the freedom to use your preferred eye-care provider. And with the vision correction benefit options (at time of application), you can choose the benefits amount and frequency of exams that best meet your needs.

Your vision insurance policy can help you pay for:

  • Eye Exams 
  • Vision correction materials
  • Specific eye diseases
  • Permanent visual impairment 

Aflac vision insurance is only available through worksite payroll deduction.

Who should think about vision insurance?

Who should think about Vision NowSM?

If the company you work for makes Aflac’s vision insurance available to you, you should consider these facts:

A recent nationwide survey of nearly 4,000 Americans revealed that more than three-quarters (76 percent) of children under the age of five have never had a comprehensive eye exam.*

Two-thirds of all adults wear some type of eyewear, and nearly one=quarter have an eye condition or disease.**

*”VSP Vision Care Study: Nearly 8 Out of 10 Kids Have Never Had an Eye Exam,” Vision Service Plan, September 3, 2008.
**Vision Care: Focusing on the Workplace Benefit, Vision Council of America, Fall 2008. 

 

Why do I need Vision NowSM?

Even in today's economy, budgeting for regular eye exams is vital because early diagnosis and timely treatment of eye diseases – such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma – is made possible. Our vision policy can help defray the cost of those exams and treatment.

According to the Vision Council of America, the use of computers, PDAs, cell phones and similar equipment increases our risks of developing vision problems as we age. Did you know that:

Nearly 90 percent of those who use a computer at least three hours a day suffer vision problems associated with computer eye-strain?*

Nearly one-third of Americans over the age of 40 have a vision problem, and because of the aging population, the number of blind or visually impaired Americans is expected to double by the year 2020?*
