You & Eye Club

The You & Eye Club is here to bridge the gap for those who find themselves “out of network” with their insurance but still need affordable and comprehensive eye care solutions.

Unlike conventional vision plans that can lead to higher out-of-pocket expenses through copays, premiums, and hidden costs, You & Eye Club offers a straightforward flat rate for all eyewear and eye care needs.
