Give the Gift of Sight With VSP Vision Insurance
There’s no better gift than the gift of sight – Last year my daughter’s teacher told her she was falling asleep at the computer because she was squinting. WRONG, she needed glasses and the difference in this little girls world are amazing. When she was home last summer, I had her doing some online learning and noticed she was squinting. She told me her teacher thought she was falling asleep, but she wasn’t. After talking to her, I quickly realized we needed to get her to eyes checked immediately. Come to find out she needed glasses, and it’s made a difference in the way she sees herself and the world around her. She can not only see better, she gets fewer headaches and does better in school. After seeing with my own eyes the difference glasses makes for those in need, I’m all for giving the gift of sight to family and friends without eye insurance, like VSP Direct™.
You can purchase individual vision insurance is more affordable thank I thought – I was honestly surprised to learn how affordable individual vision insurance from VSP Direct™ is, I catch myself thinking of family and friends who don’t have vision insurance. There is no better gift than the gift of sight. After learning how affordable VSP vision insurance is my sister and I decided to go in together and get dad an individual vision insurance plan for Father’s Day, which is right around the corner. He needs new glasses, and they’re waiting for their insurance issues to be ironed out. He’ll appreciate his Father’s Day gift this year.

VSP wants to help students see their full potential since they are the largest not-for-profit vision company in the US, and they have launched their #EyeGiveBack! Which means, when you buy or give someone the Gift of Sight you actually give twice. Purchase vision insurance from now until December 31, 2015 and the VSP will donate a much-needed eye exam and glasses to a child in need, up to $115,000. How amazing is that? VSP is in the business of helping others see, and they believe in improving one’s life starts with investing in their health. I would have to agree with them on that and that with good vision, anything is possible, especially for our youth.
I know Marley has been wanting to get contacts again but hasn’t been able to due to vision insurance issues this year. What a better way to say, thank you than to gift her VSP vision insurance so she can get her contacts! She deserves it for everything she has done for my family, helping make preschool unforgettable for my daughter is icing on the cake and the perfect excuse to give her something. Besides, when my youngest daughter gives it to her, she has to take it right!
See my sister-in-law is horrible when it comes to taking gifts without a reason. She’s MEGA sweet and doesn’t want to put anyone out, she too nice to just say thanks. I know she wouldn’t have taken it from me, but she will take it from one of her students on graduation day. We didn’t want to do anything too fancy because I know she would have said something later. A simple card with something special inside is perfect. .
Everything worked as planned; she was so busy she couldn’t say anything other than thank you and give us all hugs, lol. YES, for once one of my plans finally went according to plan lol. However, she did call me when she got home to make sure I didn’t spend too much lol. I told her not to worry about it; it wasn’t too much, and what she has done for my family could never compare. So things worked out according to plan, and I talked to my brother today and she is super excited to get contacts.
After all, if anyone deserves and needs to see clearly, it’s my sister-in-law, lol. She’s super busy being a fantastic teacher, mommy, aunt, wife, sister, and friend to many. We love her very much, even though we don’t spend as much time together as we like because life gets busy, she’s truly one of my best friends. We love her very much!
Oh, and who in the world can get 4 and 5-year-olds to sing a total of 5 songs, dressed in a cap and gown, and lined up for graduation without any issues? One remarkable teacher, right! I can’t even do that with my kids, and I’m a firm believer we need to be more thankful when we run into those good teachers in the world because they are truly priceless.
Did you know that 20% of children struggle to read due to vision problems and by age five all children should have completed three eye exams, but nearly 76% of kids are not getting those exams? That’s ten million American students who have vision condition that can potentially have a huge impact on their learning. When I let, my sister-n-law know that because we gave her the gift of sight a child in need would get an eye exam and glasses she was even more excited. Being a teacher children and their well being mean a lot to my sister-n-law, and she is aware of the issues they face if they have vision problems and are not able to get an eye exam and glasses if needed.
One of the first things she told me after I let her know she was helping a child in need get an eye exam by accepting our gift was, “That’s great, because so many vision problems can be corrected if they are caught at a young age.” She’s right too, an annual comprehensive eye exam can ensure that correctable vision problems don’t become permanent. Which is what we are doing with my daughter, and we’re watching her vision problems correct themselves, it’s great.
