Vision For Life Plan

The Vision for Life Plan provides eligible West Texas Eye Associates patients with continued access to LASIK or PRK enhancements when medically appropriate.

What Is The Vision For Life Plan?

The Vision for Life Plan is an optional laser vision correction enhancement program available through West Texas Eye Associates and American Vision Partners.

If your prescription changes after LASIK or PRK, an American Vision Partners surgeon will evaluate your eyes and determine whether an enhancement is appropriate. Eligible members may receive a laser enhancement related to their original procedure without an additional surgical fee.

An enhancement is not automatic. Your surgeon must first confirm that the procedure is medically appropriate and that you continue to meet the plan’s eligibility requirements.
