The eyes aren’t exempt from the bodily changes brought on by pregnancy. That’s why benefit provider UnitedHealthcare decided to upgrade their vision offerings for new and expectant mothers.
Under the plan changes, women expecting a child qualify for a second annual eye exam. These women can also receive a new pair of glasses if their prescription changes by 0.5 diopter or more during pregnancy; UnitedHealthcare absorbs the cost of new glasses for these patients. Employers offering vision benefits through UnitedHealthcare are automatically participating in the vision plan upgrade at no additional charge.
