Children’s Eye Care Program increases age limit to age 19

February 2025

On Feb. 1, 2025, the age limit for the Children’s Eye Care Program increased from age 13 to 19. The Children’s Eye Care Program includes:

• An additional eye exam each plan year
• An extra pair of eyeglasses if their prescription changes by 0.5 diopters or more

We are committed to supporting the eye health of children and teenagers. Vision needs often evolve significantly during adolescence, and this change aims to ensure members receive timely care and updated prescriptions, enhancing their ability to thrive in school, sports and everyday activities.

Please verify member benefits and eligibility prior to rendering services.
