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.
