Optical Plan
The PBA, in conjunction with Davis
Vision, provides an optical benefit, which includes an eye examination,
and eyeglasses or contact lenses when medically indicated for all
eligible members and their eligible dependents. This benefit is
available to the member, the member's spouse, (domestic
partner), and eligible dependent children of the member
once every twelve (12) months.
New York Metropolitan Area:
The Optical Plan benefits are quite comprehensive.
A participating licensed optometrist will perform an examination,
including tests for glaucoma, color discrimination, refraction,
near point visual functions analysis and, where appropriate, a dilation
exam.
The PBA Optical Plan also provides coverage for prescription
glasses, including:
- Tinted plastic lenses (any density)
- Verifying the accuracy of the finished glasses
- Adjustment of the finished glasses
- Follow-up work as necessary
The Optical Plan will provide limited coverage for Contact Lenses.
Please refer to the Optical Benefit booklet for specific allowances.
