If you are a GEHA Standard Option or High Option member or a GEHA dental plan member, you get vision coverage for no additional premium. Through CONNECTION's Avesis Vision Plan, you and your covered family members each pay only $5 for an annual eye exam when you use a qualified Avesis participating provider. Or, if you use a provider that does not participate, Avesis will reimburse you up to $45 for an annual routine eye exam.

Go to www.avesis.com to locate a participating provider in your area.

CONNECTION's Avesis Vision Plan also offers you discounts off the retail price of lenses, frames and specialty items such as tints, lightweight plastics and scratch-resistant coatings, contact lenses and surgical procedures (including LASIK) at participating Avesis locations.
