Since 1955, network doctors have delivered millions of hours of care to VSP® members, changing lives through the power of sight. That’s why we’re proud to support the long-term success of our providers and the optometry profession. Here’s a look at how we’re partnering with providers like you to make an impact on eye health, our communities, and the industry. Thank you for all you do!
Here’s what we’re planning for 2025
Together, we’re making an impact on the industry, the community, and the future of optometry – while helping private practices get the most out of their relationship with VSP Vision™.
VSP is holding 24 in-person workshops throughout the U.S. this year to help make it easier for practices to coordinate VSP benefits, leading to opportunities for increased revenue, patient retention, and patient satisfaction.
Together with VSP network doctors and local schools and non-profits, VSP Vision Eyes of Hope® mobile clinics travel across the U.S. to provide no-cost eye exams and prescription glasses to people in need and communities affected by disaster.
To help the next generation of optometrists build their careers, VSP has partnered with schools of optometry, offering scholarships and professional development programs.
To date, VSP has awarded $4 million to nearly 1,200 optometry students and will award 70 more scholarships in 2025.
See how the VSP Vision Student Loan Repayment Program is providing debt relief to select ODs, while helping underserved communities get the care they need.
Since the program’s launch in 2023, VSP has provided $6 million in debt relief, with an additional $4 million for 2025. Applications are open now!

With the critical connection between vision care and overall health, VSP encourages millions of VSP Vision Care members to visit a VSP network doctor, supporting access to millions of patients and billions of dollars in revenue each year. Patients with vision insurance receive eye exams more frequently than those without vision coverage.
