New GVS Optical Benefit Brochure and Bonus Coupon

The Welfare Fund and General Vision Services (GVS) are making the vision benefit more user-friendly. Here’s how:

• A revised GVS brochure that includes a defined surcharge schedule for specialized lenses and features is here.
   
• A $100 coupon that can be used to buy a second pair of glasses, or to purchase glasses for a family member who is not currently eligible for the benefit is here.
   
• The Davis Vision Plan Description is here.
   
• A consumer glossary of commonly used optical terms and lens types is available here.

The new schedule of set charges for lens upgrades (photosensitive, hi-index, polycarbonates, etc.) will go a long way toward clarifying any confusion or inconsistency in pricing at point of purchase, and should give members renewed confidence in the value of the benefit. The Fund encourages members to bring the schedule of charges to the store when utilizing the benefit at GVS.

Members who are unfamiliar with the variety of lens types and optical terminology should take advantage of the new glossary of optical terms.

 Your satisfaction with the products and customer service provided by GVS is important to the Fund. When you use your optical benefit at any GVS location, please let us know about your experience by emailing us at communications@psccunywf.org.
