High eyewear costs and difficulty finding quality vision care providers

The costs

  • Eye Exams Average Cost: **$110 Per Visit
  • Cost for Eye Exams and Two Pairs of Glasses with Curaechoice: $18 Copay

Keira’s Vision Experience with Eyewear Cost

Keira, a Team Member at Mercedes-Benz in Alabama, chose to visit her local optometrist office in Tuscaloosa due to its convenient location. She was able to schedule a same-day appointment, and the entire process—from checking in to selecting her eyewear and completing payment —took under an hour.

The seamless experience was enhanced by the office’s digital check-in system, which allowed her to fill out her information via a text link before arrival. During her visit, Keira received a thorough eye exam and selected two pairs of glasses, which she described as fantastic. Her total cost? Just $18, thanks to Curaechoice. Previously, she had paid significantly more for similar services, making the savings a major benefit.

Keira is highly satisfied with the Curaechoice Vision Program and plans to use it again. She appreciates the affordability and the ability to access quality care quickly.
I have never visited an eye doctor and only paid $18 out of pocket! And I got an eye exam and two pairs of glasses for that price. I saved a lot of money by using Curaechoice.

A New Approach to Vision Care with Curaechoice

The Curaechoice Vision Program is a revolutionary healthcare solution designed to provide zero-cost, high-quality vision care for employees of self-insured companies. Traditional vision insurance often comes with high premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, and limited eyewear choices, leaving many employees struggling to access necessary eye care.

Curaechoice eliminates these barriers by partnering with providers for online and in-person vision services. Through this program, employees can receive comprehensive eye exams, prescription glasses, and specialty lenses—completely free of charge. This hybrid model ensures that employees receive the vision care they need without financial stress or insurance hassles.

By improving access to eye care, Curaechoice enhances workplace productivity, reduces eye strain-related issues, and helps employers control healthcare costs. Companies that adopt the Curaechoice Vision Program experience higher employee satisfaction, improved retention, and lower healthcare expenses, making it a win-win solution for businesses and their workforce.
