Aflac offers two broad vision insurance options.
Aflac Vision Insurance covers most of the basics expected of a vision plan and notably offers a significant LASIK discount at participating providers. Aflac supplemental vision insurance is another option, which can add vision to an existing employee insurance package.
Rates on the plans vary greatly according to geographic location and other factors. You can create an account on their site to get a custom quote.

Members get a one-year breakage warranty, $50 frame enhancement at Visionworks, and a 25 percent discount on LASIK at participating providers.
That last point is noteworthy, as this is a significant discount for LASIK. Many other insurance plans offer a less reduced rate if any LASIK discount is given at all.
This is largely because LASIK is considered an elective procedure, meaning cheaper alternatives like glasses usually can offer a similar level of correction. As a result, many insurance companies are reluctant to help pay for it.
Aflac Supplemental Vision Insurance
Aflac also offers their Supplemental Vision Insurance, which an employer can add to a plan to give policyholders vision coverage. As Aflac notes, this plan is added through worksite payroll deduction.
The policy works by giving the policyholder cash when they incur relevant expenses, such as the cost of an annual eye exam or covered eye procedures. This helps to offset out-of-pocket costs and reduce their impact, working similar (but not identically) to the way health insurance usually works.
