Even if you don’t wear glasses or contacts, regular visits to your eye doctor may help contribute to your overall health by potentially catching serious problems, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.¹

You can enroll during the following:

• Within 60 days of your date of hire or a qualifying life event, i.e. marriage, birth of a child.
• During the annual fall open enrollment period.

Eyeglasses and routine eye exams can be more expensive than you may think. With Davis Vision by MetLife, you can save up to $361 a year on eye exams and eyewear.³

You can go to any licensed eye care professional. Choose from thousands of participating professionals at private practices or popular retail locations,⁴ such as Costco Optical, Walmart Vision, Sam’s Club Optical and more.⁵ Enjoy lower out-of-pocket costs when visiting a participating vision care provider.

Or visit online in-network eyewear stores, including Glasses.com, Befitting.com, 1 800 contacts and Visionworks.com.⁵

If you choose an out-of-network provider, you will have increased out-of-pocket expenses, pay in full at the time of services, and need to file a claim with MetLife for reimbursement.
