See how Unum Vision Insurance can help
Maria: Contacts
When Maria started getting headaches, she realized her eyesight might be to blame. With Unum Vision, she was able to get her first eye exam and prescription. Instead of glasses, she opted for contacts. The fact that she could order them online made the process even easier.
Jamal: Progressive bifocal lenses
Jamal loves to use his Unum Vision plan to get new, style-conscious frames. However, when he learned that he needed bifocals, he wasn't excited about the different appearance of the lenses. Luckily, his coverage helped him afford progressive lenses, so he can have the bifocal assistance without the difference in appearance.
John: Early diagnosis
John has been getting his eyes checked consistently, so when a routine exam turned up signs of diabetes, he was surprised. A blood sugar test by his primary care physician confirmed the condition, and he was able to begin insulin therapy immediately. Catching the disease early meant John could get the treatment he needed before it caused more damage.
