There’s an old saying: “The eyes are windows to the soul.” We all know that it just means that a person’s eyes are the easiest way to gauge their emotional state or even their intentions.
However, a growing body of data indicates that a person’s eyes can also be windows to their general health. In other words, eye health has a direct correlation with the health of the rest of the body.
As people spend more time on digital devices, the negative health effects of this increased screentime are becoming increasingly apparent and the need to protect peoples’ eyes grows more pressing.
It’s always been well known that excessive screentime damages vision health. However, recent research has isolated blue light as being the primary culprit in many of these health conditions.
Employees have increasingly expressed concerns with the demands on their vision from time spent in front of computer screens. They have asked for support to address the resulting fatigue.
CoPower is here to help.
The Harris Poll for XP Health recently published their white paper The State of Vision Health 2023. This includes an original survey of 1,009 full-time employed adults in the U.S. over the age of 25.
Big news! When you submit your new groups for VSP through CoPower, you no longer need to submit a DE-9C regardless of group size.
That’s right! No DE-9C is required for a voluntary or employer-sponsored plan for any size group.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, VSP® network providers are welcoming patients to their practices with enhanced sanitizing protocols and new ways of ensuring the comfort and well-being of patients. As of July 3, 2020, there are now 26,610 VSP providers offering routine eye care throughout California.
VSP® EasyOptions is the industry’s first vision plan that lets employees and their family members choose from a variety of upgrades at the time of service. VSP members get access to care from great eye doctors and quality eyewear at low out-of-pocket costs.
Selling vision plans just got easier with a savings calculator from VSP@ Vision Care. Employees get instant answers on how much they’ll save by entering their annual contribution, copays, and lens choices. Members save an average of $375 a year. They also get an extra $20 to spend on featured frame brands in addition to their frame allowance.
The CoPower product line up is stronger than ever with the addition of the VSP® EasyOptions vision plan. Small groups now get the amazing flexibility that was once offered only to big businesses. It’s available for quoting through HealthConnect (EasyOptions 5) for a March 1, 2020 effective date.
Employees and their dependents can choose one covered upgrade after getting a prescription during a VSP network doctor visit:
Eyeconic is the only online retailer where employees can use their VSP benefits to buy glasses, sunglasses, and contacts online and save. VSP members save an additional 20% above their frame allowance.
