Vision Care

My Favorites

Your eyes see the world and reflect your health.

Did you know that an eye exam can protect more than just your vision? In some cases, an eye exam can provide information on your cholesterol level, signs of anemia, or even nutritional deficiencies.

Vision Benefits

Oncor’s vision benefits provide flexibility and savings as you care for the health of your eyes. You can see any provider you choose, but you’ll get the highest level of coverage when you use a United Healthcare in-network provider.

Note: You will not receive a Vision ID card, as one is not required to receive services.

(1) Enrolled children up to age 19 and expectant mothers are eligible for a second exam, and are also eligible for replacement frames and lenses if they have a prescription change of 0.5 diopter or more. The second exam and replacement benefits are the same as the initial exam, frames, and lens benefits.
(2) Popular lens upgrades (such as no-line bifocals and anti-reflective coating) are available at a discount to you.
(3) Contact lenses are considered medically necessary if your eyesight cannot be corrected with eyeglasses or as determined by your provider. If you select contacts for any other reason, they are considered elective.
(4) If you choose contact lenses under this option, you will not be eligible for frames until the next calendar year.

If you receive care from an out-of-network provider, you’ll pay the full cost at the time of service and then file a claim with UHC for partial reimbursement. Check the out-of-network benefit schedule for more details.

If your child is under 19 or you’re pregnant:

  • You’re eligible for a second vision exam during the year
  • You can receive replacement lenses and frames if your prescription changes by 0.5 diopter or more
  • Replacement benefits match the original coverage shown in the table
