The Vision Plan helps you save money when you go to the eye doctor and on some eye care purchases such as:
- *Eye Exam (once every 12 months)
- **Contact Lens Fit and Follow- up (once every 12 months)
- Frames (once every 24 months)
- Lenses (once every 12 months)
- LASIK and PRK Vision Correction
- Eye Care Supplies (such as cleaning cloths and solutions)
*A routine eye exam is also covered by the College’s medical plans with Cigna at 100% in-network once every calendar year. Coverage by the Vision Plan will be secondary to coverage through Bowdoin’s health plan (or other health coverage that you may have outside of Bowdoin that provides coverage for a routine eye exam).
**Replacement contact lenses can be purchased easily by visiting www.contactsdirect.com. The lenses will be shipped direct to your home at less than retail pricing and EyeMed will contact your physician to confirm your prescription. To take advantage of this you must have a valid prescription for the lenses you wish to purchase.
You can get a list of all participating EyeMed network providers near you at www.eyemedvisioncare.com. Choose the ACCESS network from the provider locator drop-down menu. You can also call EyeMed for assistance at 866-299-1358.
