• Cost Containment: A savings of 20% - 45% is given on routine eye exams, frames and contact lenses. This represents substantial savings on the cost of prescription eyewear needs. In addition, PRK and Lasik surgery are discounted 15% off normal prices.
  
  
• Quality: Preferred providers are certified or otherwise qualified by the states in which they practice. These preferred providers carry up-to-date, top of the line inventories from leading manufacturers.
  
  
• Convenience: The EyeMed Vision Care network is comprised of over 35,000 preferred provider locations, including Lenscrafters, Target Optical, and participating Pearle Vision and Sears Optical locations. Simply select a provider and present the card. There are no pre-approvals, claim forms or reimbursements involved.
  
  
• Choice of Providers: Absolute freedom of choice within the network as to which provider to see.
  
  
• No Restrictions or Limitations: Members are entitled to use the benefit to purchase as many products as they need, as often as they desire. There are no restrictions on the type of frames, lenses and/or options which they may select, except where the manufacturer prohibits discounts.
