Choice & Quality at a Cost Effective Price
Our network includes thousands of independent eye care providers, plus a nationally recognized retail optical network of familiar names such as Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, JCPenney Optical and Target Optical. When members visit a participating provider, they will pay a copay and may not need to submit a vision claim form. If they choose to use out-of-network providers, they will need to pay the provider in full at the time of service and submit a claim form for reimbursement.

Affordable Vision For You
Jane is on a business trip out of state. She has mistakenly left her glasses at home and needs them for reading. Jane is away from her family eye doctor but remembers that even on the road she doesn't need to go out-of-network because there is a Pearle Vision near her hotel.
Jane calls the 800 customer care number on the back of her CIGNA Vision ID card to explain her situation and visits Pearle Vision, during hours that work with her schedule. She was able to pick up a new set of glasses. In most cases, no form needed. Low copayment. Fast service. Now Jane can get on with her board room presentation and not worry about seeing the board.

FAQ
My vision seems fine so I never pay attention to my eye care plan. How important is it?
Many eye diseases and disorders have no symptoms or early warning signs so a comprehensive vision and eye examination is an important element in the evaluation of a patient's overall health. The health of the eyes, blood vessels, nerves, and other tissues often reflect the health of other parts of the body.
What health risks can I face if I don't have regular eye exams?
Health problems are not always symptomatic. An eye examination can detect refractive errors, amblyopia (lazy eye) in children, diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, tumors, hypertension, strokes, high cholesterol and other diseases.
My children are very young. Should I worry about their vision right now?
Yes. Vision disorders are the leading cause of handicapping conditions in our children. Treatment before age five is critical. Early recognition of visual disorders will result in more effective treatment.
I work at a computer most of the day. Can this really harm my vision?
The average employee spends as much as six hours a day in front of a computer. Studies indicate that visual symptoms occur in 50-90 percent of computer users and are their most frequent health complaint. This could be a result of improper eyewear, lens prescription or both. Some symptoms include eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, neck and/or backache, light sensitivity and double vision.
My parents have perfect vision. Do I need regular exams if I'm feeling fine?
Anyone can suffer from vision problems at any time. Vision benefits are not just for diabetics and those over 60. Regular exams are important for most people, including:
- People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol
- The medically obese
- Smokers
- Children and adolescents (and, by association, their parents)
- Computer users
- Outside laborers
- Factory workers
