Myopia affects our ability to see far-away objects clearly and has been linked to a greater risk of developing serious eye diseases later in life. Unfortunately, myopia is on the rise, affecting around 42% of all Americans and 36% of children nationwide. By 2050, it is projected that 50% of people worldwide will be nearsighted.
As part of our commitment to drive awareness and help offset the costs associated with myopia management, we have partnered with Treehouse Eyes to offer UnitedHealthcare Vision members discounts on treatment at participating locations, as well as online consultations at no additional cost nationwide.
Treehouse Eyes is a leader in helping myopic kids. They offer specialized treatment to slow or stop the progression of myopia in children. The treatment discount is a value-added discount currently offered at these participating Treehouse Eyes locations around the Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington DC areas. The discount consists of a complimentary comprehensive assessment for myopia and a $250 discount off the first year of myopia management treatment for new pediatric patients. This discount is separate from our members’ vision benefit plan.
