Anthem Optional Vision Insurance
You may choose optional employer-sponsored, employee-paid, vision insurance administered by Anthem. Routine eye checkups are about more than making sure you can see clearly. They're also important to overall health, safety, and learning. Even if you can see well, regular eye exams are important to help keep your eyes healthy — and catch other health problems early.1
With Blue View VisionSM, you have access to one of the country's largest networks of eye doctors and eye-care retailers. This makes it easy to get eye care at the best time for you.
