Needed Reliable Contact Lens Provider + Limited Local Options for Vision Care

Randy’s Vision Journey

Once Randy heard about the Curaechoice Vision benefit he followed up to learn when it would begin. Once active, he confirmed his eligibility and booked an appointment with Box Eye Care in Tuscaloosa. “I stay in constant contact. I’d heard a rumor that Curaechoice was going to pick up vision, so I called and checked into it.”

He already had a recent prescription from another provider, and Box Eye Care was able to use it to quickly fill his contact lens order. “I walked in, showed them the app, and everything was smooth sailing. They had me in and out in about 15 minutes.” The contacts were shipped directly to Randy, and the cost—zero. “No taxes or anything. I didn’t pay a dime.”

He estimated the cost of his six-month supply would normally be around $119 out of pocket. With Curaechoice, it was completely covered. He also later ordered a backup pair of glasses online through Zenni, using a benefit credit he discovered by asking around. “I got on there, placed the order, and they just showed up. It was a surprise, honestly. And it was $0.”

Randy’s role at Mercedes requires him to read fine print on parts throughout the day. For him, having clear, comfortable vision is essential. “You have to verify what you picked up is what’s supposed to be there. You can’t do that if you can’t see right.”

Coverage and Satisfaction

Randy encourages others to take advantage of the Curaechoice Vision program—especially those who haven’t realized it’s available. “A lot of folks don’t know about it yet. But I tell people—if you’re not using it, I don’t know what part of ‘free’ you don’t understand.”
I got my contacts and glasses—both for $0. That’s hard to beat.
