Annual Eye Exams


We encourage all employees to schedule an annual eye exam with a licensed optometrist, even if your vision seems clear. Taking a proactive approach to your eye health is essential, as many vision problems can develop without obvious symptoms and go undetected for extended periods. Addressing vision issues early helps prevent more serious health complications later on.

Annual eye exams are especially important for those over 40, when the risk of vision problems and other health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer, increases. Regular exams can help detect early signs of these serious conditions.

The American Optometric Association also recommends that children between 6 months and 5 years old have an eye exam by a licensed pediatric optometrist to ensure healthy vision development. After that, annual eye exams are advised to maintain good eye health.

Claims Administration


Most vision providers file the claims with Simple Vision so you can receive your benefits at the point of service.  Your provider can submit the claims to Simple electronically via the member portal, via fax, or via mail. If your provider is unable to file your vision claims, you may provide an itemized receipt to Simple for processing.  Mail to Simple, 2810 Premiere Parkway, Suite 400, Duluth GA 30097.
