Quick Answer

Yes — several plans bundle dental + vision discounts. Careington's "Care 500" tier adds vision for about $30 more per year. Bundled plans typically save $30–$50/year vs buying dental + vision separately, plus the convenience of one membership.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dental savings plans include vision coverage?

Some do. Careington offers a "Care 500 with Vision" tier that adds eye exam and eyewear discounts to the dental membership for an additional cost. DentalPlans.com also lists plans that bundle dental + vision. Stand-alone dental plans without vision are more common, but bundled options exist.

Is a dental + vision savings plan worth it?

If you also need vision coverage, yes. A bundled dental + vision savings plan typically costs $129–$169/year — compared to $149/year for dental-only (Careington through 1Dental) plus $59–$129/year for a separate vision plan ($208–$278/year total). The bundle is usually $39–$109 cheaper. The vision discounts themselves (20–40% on frames, lenses, and eye exams) pay for the upgrade quickly.

What does the vision portion of a dental savings plan cover?

Typically: eye exams (20–40% off), prescription glasses frames (20–30% off), prescription lenses (20–40% off), contact lenses (15–25% off). Coverage is discount-based, not insurance — you pay the discounted rate directly at participating optical providers (LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, local optometrists in-network).
