Unlock Premium Eyewear

Maximize Your Vision Benefits: Get Premium Eyewear with Your Insurance Credit.

Navigating vision insurance can sometimes feel complex, with various terms and details to understand. At Lipski Eye Center, our mission is to empower you with clarity, not just for your vision, but for your benefits too! We believe that understanding your specific vision plan is key to making the best choices for your eye health and personal style.

Instead of thinking of your vision insurance as simply "coverage," let's reframe it as a valuable credit or allowance that's designed to help you acquire higher-quality, advanced frames and superior lens technologies from our extensive optical section. Your plan, regardless of the provider, offers a significant opportunity to invest in eyewear that truly enhances your vision, comfort, and confidence.

Let's explore how many leading vision plans structure these valuable benefits, using a popular provider like VSP as a clear example:

Your Frame Credit: Step Up to Premium Style and Quality

Most vision insurance plans offer a frame allowance that acts as a direct credit towards the purchase of new eyeglass frames. Many plans, including VSP, specifically highlight opportunities for Featured Brand Frames, offering a more substantial allowance. For instance, VSP plans often provide 100% coverage for Featured Brand Frames up to $200 at participating offices.

This $200, or similar amount from your plan, is your powerful credit towards the frames you truly desire:

  • This generous allowance can be directly applied to any frame in our diverse collection, from popular brands to exclusive designer styles.
  • It significantly reduces your out-of-pocket cost for high-quality, durable, and fashionable frames that go beyond basic selections. For example, if you choose a $350 designer frame and your plan offers a $200 credit, you'd only pay the remaining $150.
  • This credit enables you to select frames that offer superior craftsmanship, comfort, and the perfect aesthetic to complement your personality. Most plans, including VSP, typically offer this frame benefit every 12 or 24 months, ensuring you can refresh your look regularly.

Your Lens Credit: Experience Superior Clarity and Protection

Similarly, most vision insurance plans provide foundational coverage for standard eyeglass lenses. A plan like VSP, for example, often covers standard lenses at 100% after a small copayment (e.g., $10). This foundational coverage acts as your initial lens "credit," paving the way for advanced optical solutions.

While standard lenses meet basic prescription needs, modern lens technologies offer incredible enhancements for vision quality, comfort, and long-term eye health. These often include:

  • Anti-glare coatings: Essential for reducing reflections, especially during night driving and computer use.
  • Blue light filters: Designed to mitigate digital eye strain and improve sleep patterns.
  • Progressive lenses: Provide seamless vision at all distances, eliminating the need for bifocal lines.
  • Thin and light materials: Make your glasses more comfortable and aesthetically appealing, particularly for stronger prescriptions.

Your insurance's coverage for standard lenses effectively becomes a credit that directly lowers the cost of these premium lens upgrades. This means you're not paying for these advanced features on top of the full lens price; you're only paying the difference after your base lens benefit is applied.

This empowers you to customize your lenses for optimal clarity, reduced eye fatigue, and advanced protection, significantly elevating your daily visual experience. Most plans, like VSP, typically offer this lens benefit every 12 months, helping you maintain sharp vision and protected eyes year after year.

Contact Lens Credit: Convenience for Your Lifestyle

Many vision insurance plans, including VSP, also provide an allowance or credit for contact lenses. For elective contact lenses, VSP typically offers 100% coverage up to a $150 allowance. Medically necessary contact lenses are often covered more comprehensively after a minimal copay.

This contact lens allowance (e.g., $150) is your dedicated Credit to put towards your preferred brand and type of elective contact lenses, offering you the freedom and comfort you desire for your active lifestyle.

This benefit is usually available every 12 months. Please note that many plans, including VSP, generally require you to choose between receiving contact lenses or spectacle eyewear (eyeglass lenses and frames) within the same benefit period.
