Vision Care

An eye for good health – and savings

Of course regular eye exams help spot vision problems. But here's something you might not know. Eye exams help spot many common health conditions.

Eye doctors can detect diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. When you catch these conditions early, they are easier to treat.

We offer an array of vision products to help meet your eye-care needs.

Aetna VisionSM discount program
You can enjoy savings on eye care with the Aetna VisionSM discount program. It's available to anyone with Aetna health benefits and insurance plans (medical, dental, life etc.)

This program is not an insurance plan. It's simply a way to save money on eye care. You'll save on exams, contact lenses, glasses, LASIK surgery and more.

We offer vision insurance only through employers and other plan sponsors. Two options are available.

Aetna VisionSM -- core benefits
Your employer's medical plan may include coverage for eye exams. Some plans may also cover glasses and contact lenses. 

Aetna VisionSM Preferred  – your choice!
If your employer offers this plan, you can buy vision benefits alone. You can choose this option even if you have no other Aetna coverage. Plans are flexible. They may cover eye exams, glasses and contact lenses, or all of these.

Many choices in our network
All of these products come with one of the largest vision networks in the country. These eye care professionals include:

  • Pearle Vision®
  • LensCrafters® 
  • JCPenney® Optical
  • Target Optical®
  • Sears Optical®

You can also find thousands of independent eye care professionals. Visit DocFind® to find one near you.

Check your employer's plan documents to see if vision care is included. If you are an Aetna member, you can also log in to your secure member site.  (New to Aetna? Register now.)
