Instead of using their material benefit for prescription eyewear (including lens, frame, and contact lenses), eligible patients can choose to use their benefit toward approved Laser Vision Care (LVC) services  (LASIK, Custom LASIK, Bladeless LASIK, PRK, Custom PRK, SMILE or Contoura)..

Eligible patients will have a $150 LVC allowance every plan year. The allowance amount applies to both eyes. The patient must be eligible for materials to receive LVC services. The patient will still be eligible for the standard LVC discounts.

After surgery, patients may use their frame allowance (if eligible) for sunglasses. Coverage for sunglasses is not allowed in the same plan year as LVC services.
