To help you keep life in focus, the Company offers you vision coverage through VSP to help pay for eye exams and vision correction.

2024 Vision Plans

The Company’s vision plans help cover the cost of eye exams, contact lenses, and eyeglass frames and lenses. You may receive care from any eye care provider you choose; however, both plan options pay more when you receive care from a VSP in-network provider.

VSP offers a huge network of independent private practice doctors and over 700 Visionworks® retail locations nationwide, popular retailers (e.g., Pearle Vision, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, My Eye Dr. and Cohen’s Fashion Optical) and an online option through Eyeconic. VSP members can shop the latest designer glasses and name-brand contacts online at Eyeconic.com® with their VSP benefits.

You have two options for vision coverage:

  • The VSP Option 1 (changing to High Vision plan in 2025) is a higher-cost vision plan with higher copays and higher reimbursement levels for frames and materials.
  • The VSP Option 2 (changing to Standard Vision plan in 2025) is a lower-cost vision plan with lower copays, lower reimbursement levels for frames and materials, and access to the Kids Care Plan.

You can enroll in vision coverage as a new hire, during Annual Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event.

Key features

How much does vision coverage cost?

You pay for vision coverage through before-tax Premiums from your paycheck. The amount you pay will depend on which plan you choose and whether you cover just yourself or family members, too. You can view your plan costs on the BBU Benefits Center website.

Find a network provider

You can see any vision care provider you want, but you’ll generally pay less by staying in network. Visit the VSP website to find an in-network vision care provider near you.
