Taking care of your eyes is easy with
State of California and VSP® Vision Care.
The State of California offers you a choice of two great vision plans. The Basic Vision Plan will be provided at no extra cost to you, or you can upgrade to the Premier Vision Plan for a small monthly premium. To upgrade to the Premier Vision Plan, you may enroll through your department's personnel office within 60 days of your new hire/newly eligible status or during open enrollment.
Note: When you upgrade to the Premier Vision Plan, you must also enroll any dependents you wish to be covered, or they will lose their vision coverage.
With VSP, taking care of your vision and overall eye health is easy.
