Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, Ameritas will administer Auburn University's vision coverage. If you enroll in vision insurance, you will choose either the VSP or EyeMed provider network. Superior Vision will no longer be Auburn's vision administrator.

Both plans include one covered eye exam each year and provide a $180 allowance toward frames or contact lenses. You can choose the network that best fits your family's needs.

Major retail providers include:

  • EyeMed: LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Target Optical, America's Best, Walmart, MyEyeDr., and TeamVision (Moore's Mill and Dean Road locations)
  • VSP: Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, MyEyeDr., Visionworks, Basden Eye Care, and Moore's Mill Eyecare

Visit the EyeMed provider directory or the VSP provider directory to verify that your eye care provider participates in the network.

If your provider is not currently in the Ameritas network and you would like them to be considered for participation, send an email to oe@auburn.edu and give us the name and address of the provider. We will send the information to Ameritas for contact.
