Individual and Family Vision Plans
For Visitors in the USA and US Residents
What is the Careington Vision Discount Plan?
Vision plans lower the cost of routine eye care and eyewear in the United States. Many travel medical insurance plans do not include routine vision benefits, leaving eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, and select vision correction procedures as out-of-pocket expenses. Through Insubuy, the Careington Vision Discount Plan gives members discounted rates through the EyeMed Vision Care Access Network, with access to more than 90,000 participating provider locations nationwide.
Savings on Eye Care
Vision insurance usually requires U.S. residency or a Social Security Number, which foreign visitors to the USA do not have. Eye care needs can’t always wait until you return home. The Careington Vision Discount Plan is for people who want a practical alternative to manage expected vision-related expenses during their US visit.
People without a Social Security Number, B1/B2 visa holders, J-1 exchange visitors, international students without school-sponsored coverage, tourists without school-sponsored coverage,
