    If you would have VSP as your insurance, you would not be able to get eyewear (unless you had a plan that specifically covers "plano" sunglasses, or after laser correction under most "Signature" plans).

    They have a +/- 0.50 combined power in any meridian minumum prescription criteria.

    One could always fill the Rx with a plano and put + or - .12 down on the form as this is within tolerance for a plano ant everyone would be happy.

    For the record I don't do insureance work.
