Welcome to our office. Your employer has provided you with the most comprehensive vision plan. Unlike most other vision plans, VSP requires the use of the highest quality contact lenses, ophthalmic lenses and frames.
For this reason VSP is the only vision care plan that we accept. Most VSP plans provide for a comprehensive eye examination and either contact lenses or glasses (usually not both).
Welcome to our office. Your employer has provided you with the most comprehensive vision plan.

Most VSP plans provide for a comprehensive eye examination and either contact lenses or glasses (usually not both).
Services for medical care are not covered by VSP. These services are provided by your medical plan. For example, if you make an appointment for any of the following: red eye, pain, non-glasses related reduced vision, infection, floaters, etc. you must use your medical plan. VSP covers well eye care examinations, determination of new glasses or contact lens prescription, and associated glasses and contacts as per your company’s contract. Sound confusing, well it is. Our staff deals with hundreds of insurance companies some having more than a hundred plans. Our staff is committed to helping you through trials and tribulations of insurance reimbursement. Remember that we don’t create insurance company’s policies, these are your plans negotiated by your employer. We are happy to provide the services contracted by your employer. Thus, you are responsible for care not provided by your insurance plan. You should be happy to know that if your employer provides you with VSP, they have made a serious attempt to provide you with best possible care.
Most VSP plans cover either contact lenses or glasses but not both. A contact lens evaluation fee of $85.00 is charged for an evaluation of your current contact lenses and determination of a new prescription; it does not cover fees for refitting if necessary. Our optical dispensary provides 20% discount on a pair of glasses or on glasses purchased when using the contact lens service. Patients often ask us how best to use VSP. If you require both contact lens and glasses we recommend that you use the plan for the contact lenses.
Bring your glasses and any contact lens information (old prescription, bottles, or box, etc.).
