Prioritize Your Eyes with VSP
CSU benefit-eligible employees have two great vision plans to choose from. You don't need to lift a finger to keep your vision coverage for 2026. But, if you want more savings on frames or contact lenses, open enrollment is the perfect time to upgrade from the Basic Plan to the Premier Plan.
Click 'View Your 2026 Plan' and 'How to Enroll User Guide' to learn more about your options and how to upgrade your vision coverage for 2026 then click 'Enroll Now/Make Changes' to get started. Not sure which plan is right for you? Click 'Which Plan is Right for Me?'
Note: When you enroll in the Premier Plan you must also enroll any dependents you wish to cover or they will lose coverage.
