- What Does Davis Vision Plan Cover
Davis Vision, a national administrator of routine vision care programs, provides benefits under the Vision Plan. Each enrolled person may receive an eye exam, one pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses, and frames once each calendar year. There is a monthly rate for enrollment in the plan and there may be an additional copay when you receive services.
You can receive service from providers who participate with Davis Vision or from non-participating providers. The greatest cost savings are with participating providers.
Eligibility
All benefits-eligible faculty and staff are eligible to enroll in the Vision Plan. If you are enrolled in the plan at the time of your retirement, coverage continues during your retirement.

No ID Card Needed
No ID Card is issued or needed for the Vision Plan. Davis Vision will send you a welcome kit and plan brochure when you enroll.
'Splitting' Your Vision Care Benefits
Davis Vision Insurance Company
You may 'split' your benefits by receiving your eye examination, eyeglass lenses and frame or contact lenses on different dates or through different provider locations. Continuity of care will best be maintained when all available services are obtained at one time from the same provider. To maximize benefit values, Davis Vision recommends obtaining all services from a participating provider.
