The vision benefit is designed to cover your vision needs rather than elective materials. There will be extra costs involved if you select materials or services which are elective in nature, such as:
- Oversized frames;
- A frame that costs more than the plan allowance;
- Elective contact lenses costing more than $125;
- Tinted or coated lenses;
- Supplemental tests in addition to the standard vision exam;
- Sunglasses; or
- Materials or services not necessary for visual welfare.
Items not covered include:
- Orthoptics, vision training or non-prescription lenses;
- Lenses and frames under this program which are lost, stolen or broken. These will not be replaced unless you are eligible for frames or lenses at that time;
- Two pairs of glasses in place of bifocals;
- Medical or surgical treatment of the eyes;
- Services or materials as a result of any Workers’ Compensation law or similar legislation;
- Any eye exam required by an employer as a condition of employment; or
- Any services or materials provided by any other vision care plan or group benefit plan containing benefits for vision care.
