An Honest Take

Where each plan wins.

No plan is best for everyone. Here’s the straight version.

MyVision wins if…

You want a real benefit

  • A real frame allowance ($150–$400), not a discount card
  • $0 exam and $0 lens copay on every tier
  • Glasses and contacts the same year on III & IV
  • Anti-glare and blue-light included free
EyeMed wins if…

You live at retail optical

  • Deep integration with LensCrafters, Target Optical, Glasses.com
  • The $5 Healthy tier is fine if you only want a small discount
  • Strong online-purchase experience for ready-made eyewear

Tip: if you buy eyewear at a chain, confirm whether it also accepts MyVision.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is EyeMed Healthy really only $5 a month?

Yes, but EyeMed Healthy is a discount plan, not a full benefit plan — a percentage off frames and lenses with no frame allowance and a small contact allowance. RMO MyVision I is $8/month with a real $150 frame allowance plus a $0 exam and $0 lens copay.

How does MyVision compare to EyeMed Bold and Bright?

EyeMed Bold is about $17.50/month ($130 frame allowance) and Bright around $30/month ($200 allowance). MyVision II is $15/month with a $200 allowance and $0 copays, and MyVision III is $22/month with a $300 allowance plus glasses and contacts in the same year.

Does MyVision cover glasses and contacts like EyeMed?

MyVision III and IV cover glasses and contacts in the same year. EyeMed, like most plans, covers either glasses or contacts each year — not both.

Can I use MyVision at LensCrafters or Target Optical?

EyeMed is especially strong at retail-optical chains. MyVision is accepted at participating independent and retail providers — check the MyVision provider locator for in-network options near you.
