Impact on Eye Health

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.

Impact on the Industry

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.
