Deductible
Eye exam copay
The amount you pay to the network provider for your routine eye exam. You can get 1 eye exam every 12 months.
Standard lens copay
The amount you pay to a network provider for your base eyeglass lens. Base eyeglass lenses include standard plastic single vision, bifocal, trifocal or lenticular lenses. You can use your lens benefit towards the purchase of eyeglass lenses or contact lenses every 12 months.
Frame allowance
The amount of your frame cost your plan covers when you visit a network provider. If your frame cost is more than your frame allowance, you get 20% off the balance. You’re responsible for the balance up to the total cost of the frame.
Contact lens allowance
The amount of your contact lens cost your plan covers when you purchase from a network provider. If your purchase of conventional contact lens goes over your plan's allowance, you get 15% off the balance. You can use your lens benefit towards the purchase of eyeglass lenses or contact lenses every 12 months.
Progressive lens copay
The amount you pay to the network provider for upgrading to a progressive lens. This copay includes the cost of the bifocal lens plus the progressive upgrade. If the progressive lens you choose is outside of tiers 1 through 3, you get a 20% discount off the retail cost plus a $120 plan allowance.
Standard lens options
Lens options are available at a discount when you visit a network provider. You don’t pay more than the amount listed. Some options are covered in full based on the plan you choose. Other non-covered lens options are available for 20% off the retail cost.
Out-of-network coverage
You have the option to visit an out-of-network provider. If you do, you pay the provider in full and submit a claim to get reimbursed (up to the maximum out-of-network plan limit).
Monthly cost
The monthly costs shown are examples of our lowest monthly rates. Your cost may vary based on the individual vision plan you choose and the number of people you insure. Once you choose a plan, check your plan documents for your covered services and benefit levels.

DISCOUNT OFFERS ARE NOT INSURANCE. They are not benefits under your insurance plan. You get access to discounts off the regular charge on products and services offered by third party vendors and providers. Aetna makes no payment to the third parties — you are responsible for the full cost. Check any insurance plan benefits you have before using these discount offers, as those benefits may give you lower costs than these discounts.

If you are not yet enrolled in an Aetna plan, please keep in mind that your actual network, benefits and/or offers may vary from what appears on this website. Not all providers participate in every plan or offer all services. Special offers and discounts on non‐covered services may not be available through all providers, or in all states.
