When was the last time you visited the eye doctor? If the answer was, “I can’t remember,” you might want to consider scheduling a check-up. Annual check-ups are important to ensure the health of your eyes, and since August is National Eye Exam Month, there’s no better time to see your optometrist.

MSU benefits-eligible faculty and staff have the opportunity to enroll in several voluntary, employee-paid benefits programs via MSU Benefits Plus. Included among these programs is vision insurance through VSP. This vision insurance coverage can help with the costs of exams, glasses and contact lenses for you and your family. For basic information about the plan and coverage rates, you can visit the MSU HR website.

Benefits-eligible faculty and staff can enroll for vision insurance during open enrollment in the fall. Outside of open enrollment, benefits-eligible new hires or newly-eligible faculty and staff have 30 days to enroll from their date of hire or date of eligibility.

VSP via MSU Benefits Plus is a great option for MSU faculty and staff members so they can keep their eyes healthy with regular check-ups!
