The District offers a choice of two vision plans.

Both vision plans provide some of the same benefits; however, there are some key differences, for example, with deductibles, non-network benefits, and locations.

Two-Year Enrollment Commitment: When choosing a vision plan, remember that the District requires you to remain enrolled in the plan you choose for two full plan years. For example, if you switched from EyeMed Vision Care to VSP for the 2007 plan year, you must remain in VSP for 2008.
