VSP Vision Eyes of Hope provides access to no-cost eye care, eyewear, and disaster relief in places where it’s needed most across country.
VSP is committed to supporting and partnering with the next generation of optometrists.
Patients with vision insurance receive eye exams more frequently than those without vision coverage. With the critical connection between vision care and overall health, VSP encourages millions of VSP Vision Care members to visit a VSP network doctor, supporting access to millions of patients and billions of dollars in revenue each year.
In the past two years, VSP has provided more than $300,000 to state optometric associations for disaster relief, children’s vision initiatives, and combating anti-optometry legislation, such as “not-a-doctor” initiatives in several states.
