Vision benefits are just as important as medical and dental coverage. A comprehensive eye exam can help identify both vision related and major medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, multiple sclerosis and more. 1 in 5 people are at risk for vision loss and many of the problems could have been addressed through proactive care. A slight vision miscorrection can reduce productivity by 10% and accuracy by 40%. 1 Jobson’s Optical Research Vision Watch Data Prevent Blindness America Employee Benefit News American Optometric Association 5 Journal of the AOA, 2004

This area of power is usually located in the center of the lens and takes on the appearance of a "bubble.“ The amount of patients that need this type of lens has been decreased by improvements in cataract surgery. Progressive Lenses - Progressive lenses are often referred to as “no-line” bifocals or trifocals. They allow the wearer to have the benefits of multifocal lenses with a blended lens. These lenses have many advantages over bifocals and trifocals because they allow the wearer to focus at many different distances, not just two or three. Because they have no lines, progressive lenses allow a smooth transition between distances. Standard Progressive Lenses - Progressive lenses that could include basic lens option features such as Basic/Standard Anti Reflective properties and could be made out of plastic. Premium Progressive Lenses – Progressive lenses that could include premium properties such as Premium – Anti Reflective, UV coating, etc. and could be made with Polycarbonate or High Index lenses.
