vision coverage for no additional premium. Through CONNECTION's Avesis
Vision Plan, you and your covered family members each pay only $5 for an eye exam
when you use a qualified Avesis participating provider. Or, if you use a provider that does
not participate, Avesis will reimburse you up to $45 for a routine eye exam.
