Getting Glasses with Sunshine Health: A Step-by-Step Guide

Need glasses and covered by Sunshine Health? Good news: eyeglasses are part of your vision benefit, and getting them is easier than most people expect. Here's the step-by-step process we walk Sunshine Health members through every day at Advanced Vision Care in South Florida.

Step 1: Schedule a Covered Eye Exam

Your glasses start with an up-to-date prescription. Sunshine Health generally covers one comprehensive eye exam per year, so if it's been 12 months or more, you're due. Call our office or book online, and let us know you're a Sunshine Health member so we can verify your benefits in advance.

Step 2: Get Your Prescription and Recommendations

During your exam, your doctor determines your exact prescription and checks the overall health of your eyes. If glasses are recommended, we'll explain what your prescription means and what lens options make sense for how you live and work — no upselling, just clear information.

Step 3: Choose Frames Covered by Your Benefit

Sunshine Health's benefit typically includes one pair of glasses per year. Our opticians will show you which frames are covered under your plan and help you find a pair that fits well and looks good. If you'd like upgrades beyond what the plan covers, we'll tell you the exact cost difference up front so you can decide.

Step 4: Fitting and Follow-Up

When your glasses arrive, we fit them properly to your face — a step that matters more than most people realize for comfort and clear vision. If anything feels off in the following weeks, come back and we'll adjust them at no charge.
