Your Benefits

With most CEC vision plans, you and any dependents you enroll will receive the following benefits*:

  • An annual routine eye exam
  • An annual allowance for eyewear
  • An annual contact lens fitting, re-fit, or evaluation

You can use your flexible eyewear allowance annually to get frames, lenses, contact lenses, and lens enhancements. Even non-prescription eyewear is covered! You can purchase exactly what you need for the health of your eyes.

In addition, you'll receive a 20% discount on glasses and a 10% discount on contact lenses for any overages from most providers.

Eye Exams are Essential

Everyone needs an annual eye exam, regardless of age or physical health. During your exam, your doctor will check your vision and your eyes for common diseases such as:

  • Glaucoma
  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Cancer

Even if you have perfect vision, your annual eye exam is a critical component to your overall health and wellness.

Scheduling Your Eye Exam

Our expansive network of eye doctors gives you the ability to see your preferred provider.  

Need a weekend appointment?  We've got you covered.  CEC's network includes 25 national retail optical chains, including Visionworks, Walmart, Target Optical, and LensCrafters.

To schedule an appointment, use our Provider Search to find a provider near you. Then, call the office you prefer to see and let them know you have a CEC vision plan.  They will be happy to assist in scheduling an eye exam at a time that is convenient for you.

For additional assistance in finding a provider or scheduling an appointment, please contact our Customer Service team at 888.254.4290.

Sunglasses Save Eyes

Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory. They block harmful UV rays, which can damage your eyes. Because sunglasses are so important to eye health, they are a covered benefit under all of CEC’s vision plans.

"My experience with CEC’s customer service team has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in dealing with an insurance company! I can guarantee I'll be recommending Community Eye Care to everyone I know."
