Starting vision care is so important right when the children are young and throughout the retirement years. My Nana had an eye disease called Macular Degeneration, which caused her to lose her eyesight as she was getting older. I remember when we were little she would say that things were getting blurry and then into her nineties she really could not see at all.

Importance of Vision Care

My mother is retired and often worries that she will have this same disease when she gets older. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Macular Degeneration, but having regular eye checkups can catch it early.

VSP Individual Vision Plans

VSP Vision Care is the national leader in eye care benefits and offers affordable vision insurance for those that don’t have access to coverage through an employer with their VSP Individual Vision Plans. Just because you retire doesn’t mean that your vision insurance has to as well. Ensuring that my mother has quality vision care is important because I have seen firsthand what can happen when you let your health deteriorate.

With VSP Individual Vision Plans, you can receive benefits for as little as $13 a month.

VSP Individual Vision Plans offer annual benefits that cover a comprehensive eye exam, prescription lenses, with covered lens enhancements, like progressives, a generous allowance for glasses or contacts with a wide selection of brand name frames, and access to the largest network of independent doctors. Quality care is just a phone call away.

For our family, vision care is important. My daughter wears glasses and has very poor eyesight, so eye care is important. We feel the same way about my mom that even though she is retired, she still needs a reminder to take care of herself, vision included, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With a VSP Individual Vision Plan, it makes it easy for her to continue taking care of her vision through her golden years.
