No-insurance eye exams & glasses
Comprehensive eye exams are $49 without insurance at all locations.
You don’t need vision insurance to get an eye exam. Many of our patients don’t have insurance and are able to afford comprehensive eye care and brand name eyewear at Wisconsin Vision. We offer ongoing deals & discounts available to private-pay patients.
Low-cost payment plans
Whether or not you have insurance, you can use CareCredit (a healthcare credit card) at any Wisconsin Vision. Some payment plans have zero interest for 6 or 12 months.
You can also use CareCredit to buy COR Eyewear, our exclusive online brand of glasses and sunglasses.
Better prices on brand-name eyewear
Wisconsin Vision is one of the largest regional eyewear chains in the Midwest. We negotiate better vendor pricing from the top brands in eyewear and pass the savings on to you.
Why many Wisconsinites don’t have vision insurance
Some employer-sponsored health insurance plans don’t include vision coverage, or offer vision insurance only as an add-on (with a bigger premium).
Individual vision insurance plans are available, but they usually require a 12-month commitment paid up front. With many of these plans, patients still have to pay out of pocket for part of the cost of an eye exam, glasses, or contact lenses. For most people, it doesn’t make sense to pay $15-$20 a month for vision insurance (plus enrollment fees).
Simplifying the cost of eye care, one patient at a time
Whether you need help figuring out what your plan covers, or want to know how much it’ll cost out of pocket for an exam and new glasses, we’re here to help.
