We tend to neglect our eyes until we experience serious discomfort, even though we rely on good vision now more than ever. But with the steeper costs of healthcare, you likely overlook vision insurance and its benefits altogether. After all, why dig a deeper hole into your pocket for something you can do without, right? Wrong! Vision insurance can be incredibly beneficial to you and your employees.
