Coverage now includes photochromics, progressives

Clearwater, FL-Advantica EyeCare, a Clearwater, FL-based vision plan provider, has added coverage of photochromic lenses and progressive lenses to all of its vision care plans. Beginning this month, plan members can purchase photochromic and progressive lenses at a substantial savings.

"This plan enhancement is a great value for our subscribers," said Richard Sanchez, president and chief executive officer, Advantica EyeCare. "Our members can take advantage of the benefits of glare reduction and protection from ultraviolet light that contribute to reduced eye strain and fatigue and help preserve the health of the eye.

"Vision plans are a cost-effective way for employers to provide or contribute to preventative-type employee benefits," he added. "These kinds of benefits are a growing segment not only because they are perceived as a value by employees but also because they play a role in productivity and overall health."
