The Vision Care Plan (VCP) is the company-paid vision plan. The VCP is a basic benefit designed to encourage regular eye examinations, assist with the expenses for needed eyeglass frames and corrective lenses, and help offset the cost of additional eyewear purchases through a network provider. Currently, the Vision Care Plan is administered by Davis Vision.
