Savings of 10% to 30% on eye exams and surgical procedures, including LASIK where available. Through QualSight, you may save 40% to 50% off the overall national average on LASIK surgery (PRK and CK available at select locations).
We contract with ophthalmologists (M.D.s) in selected markets across the country to provide you with discounts on eyeglasses, contact lenses, eye exams, and surgical procedures (including PRK and LASIK surgery) where available. If there is not an ophthalmologist in your area, you may give the doctor's name, address, and phone number to our representative and your doctor will be invited to join the program.
In keeping with our tradition of utilizing both chain and independent providers, we contract with national chains of laser surgery centers to provide discounts on refractive laser surgery. In addition, we contract with independent ophthalmologists who also provide discounts on refractive surgery.
Mail Order Contacts
Members receive greater savings on contact lenses through our mail order program. Members simply call a toll-free number for price quotes and to place an order. Most orders are received within 7 to 14 days.
