8 Reasons to Offer Group Vision Insurance to Employees

July 29, 2025by mycalchoice

More than 90 million adults in the U.S. are at high risk for vision loss. Still, only about half get their eyes checked yearly. With nearly 80% of adults using some kind of vision correction, the need for vision benefits is crystal clear.

The reality is, vision coverage isn’t just good for your employees. It’s good for your business, too.
