Taking care of your eyes is easy with
CSU Active Employees and VSP® Vision Care.
California State University benefit-eligible employees have the option of two great vision plans to choose from. Cover the essentials with your Basic Plan or upgrade to the Premier Plan for enhanced coverage, such as prescription glasses or contacts every calendar year and an increased frame or contact lens allowance for a small monthly premium.
Ready to get started? Click 'View Your Plan' to learn more about the vision coverage available to you. Then, click the 'New Hire/FERP/Qualifying Event Enrollment Form' button and download the form to enroll in the Premier Vision Plan. You have 60 days from your date of hire or qualifying event to enroll in the Premier Vision Plan or make changes.
Please note: When you upgrade to the Premier Plan, you must also enroll any dependents you wish to be covered, or they will lose their coverage.
