Why Vision Care?

Go Beyond Your Low Cost Health Insurance Plan for the Health of Your Eyes

Low cost health insurance plans don't often include comprehensive eye care. However, vision maintenance is one of the most important things you can do for your health. And it's easy to see why when you think about it.

A large percentage of the population fears losing their eyesight - beyond any other physical impairment. When you think of all your eyes do for you it's easy to see why. Beyond that, just the partial loss of eye function can greatly impact your quality of life. As you age, the risk of presbyopia, or the diminished ability to focus on near objects, greatly increases. And with the large increase in computer use, eye fatigue is common which results in blurred vision and eye discomfort.

Even children aren't immune. Twenty-five percent of children, ages five to 12, have a vision problem that can affect their educational performance.

Adding vision discounts to your low cost health insurance plan allow you to use vision care as a medical diagnostic tool instead of just damage control. Eye exams are able to diagnose more than 30 systemic diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, Graves disease, and more.
