Vision Care Network and Eyewear Discounts

How do Eye Practitioners Differ?

Ophthalmologists (M.D.s): doctors who perform eye examinations, prescribe glasses or other corrective devices, treat disease, and perform surgical or other procedures.

Optometrists (O.D.s) are specialists licensed to perform preventive eye examinations, certain diagnostic and therapeutic eye care services (with referral from a PCP, if applicable) and prescribe glasses or other corrective devices.

Opticians dispense eyewear materials only.

As a Tufts Health Plan member you and your plan dependents are eligible to receive discounts on vision correction services and eyewear from EyeMed participating providers. The program includes:

A mail-order contact lens replacement program (Lens evaluation and fitting are required and are not covered or discounted.*)
35% off the retail price of frames, as well as discounts on lenses and lens options with the purchase of a complete pair of eyeglasses**

Search for an EyeMed participating provider from an extensive network of private practice optometrists, ophthalmologists, or opticians, or from well-known optical retailers including LensCrafters, Sears Optical, Target Optical, JCPenney Optical, and most Pearle Vision Centers.
