State of Texas Vision for Active Employees


Vision benefits are an easy way for you and your dependents to maintain the health of your eyes. All Texas Employees Group Benefits Program (GBP) health plans cover an annual eye exam and the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and injuries. GBP health plans do not cover the cost of eyeglasses or contacts. Review your health plan’s covered services for details. State of Texas VisionSM, administered by EyeMed Vision Care, LLC., offers complete vision coverage to help you save money on eye exams and eyewear.

  • Access to thousands of providers nationwide in the EyeMed INSIGHT network, including top optical retail chains
