Vision Insurance Plans

January 9, 2019 No Comments

Vision Insurance There’s nothing less productive than a blurry-eyed employee fumbling around the office, squinting at the whiteboard or misreading the small font on an important memo. Do not underestimate the value of vision maintenance, especially among those on whom you depend for the success of your company. If your budget allows, we recommend that you offer your employees vision insurance. We at Bernardini and Donovan uphold the philosophy that employers should provide as many benefits to their employees as possible.

Vision insurance does, however, offer discounts for additional glasses and Lasik surgery. Three Tiers of Service Broken up into three tiers of service,
