If youre anything like me, you wear the same old eyeglasses for years and years even when the frames need a serious adjustment and the lenses are scratched.
Sure, you need glasses, you know, to see, but buying a new pair can be so darn expensive.
Thats where vision insurance is nice. It can help offset the cost of eye exams, glasses and contacts.
And you dont have to get vision insurance through an employer. You can get your own plan starting as low as $13 a month with VSP Individual Vision Plans.
Most plans come with a $150 allowance for glasses.
How to Snag a $150 Allowance Toward Your New Pair of Glasses
Not all employers offer worthwhile vision insurance. Heck, some employers dont offer it at all. Or, if youre self-employed, you probably dont want to take on another costly monthly expense.
But the truth is, good vision insurance is a lot cheaper (and easier to find) than you might think.
VSP Individual Vision Plans start as low as $13 a month, and the typical savings youll get totals more than $200 a year.
Its easy to shop your options, too. Just enter your ZIP code, and in about two seconds, youll be browsing different plans.

The VSP Standard Plans include a $15 eye exam (these can be $200 out of pocket) and a $150 annual allowance, which you can put toward the purchase of glasses or contacts.
