Vision Care Benefits
The Con Edison Retiree Health Plan provides vision care benefits for you and your eligible dependents
The company has arranged with participating providers in New York to supply vision care services at no cost to you. Services are provided at no cost only if you receive all services—an eye examination, lenses, and frames—from the same provider.
