Vision Insurance
Even if you have perfect vision, preventative eye care is essential for ensuring the health of your vision in the years to come. The most important step is receiving routine examinations from a qualified eye care professional. It is recommended that Individuals between the ages of 20 and 40 have a comprehensive eye exam every five years or so, provided no visual changes or injury has occurred. Individuals over the age of 40 should have an exam at least every two years.
RBI offers vision insurance to help you keep the cost of vision care affordable. The coverage is provided through Ameritas and EyeMed, whose network of more than 50,000 providers and provider locations nationwide includes both independent practitioners and retail locations such as Sears Optical, Target Optical, JC Penney, Pearle Vision, and LensCrafters.
