Davis Vision is low rent. You find them at costco and walmarts. The one at costco was esentially in a closet. You will be in and out in 15 minutes. That is not a good thing! They do not reimburse for optic nerve photography which is pretty standard at VSP and other insurers. Getting reimbursed for out of network is difficult. They will deny, if you have even a comma misplaced. Stay away at all costs.

Terrible customer support. They are incapable of processing an out of network claim correctly as they have made errors three years in a row and multiple times this year. DO NOT USE, not worth the hassle and hours spent on there phone with their customer support that have no ability to support.

After spending a large sum of my own money including using up my insurance allowance for the year, the lenses in my prescription sunglass lenses are completely defective in less than two years. Since every provider we go to drops Davis vision we keep moving providers. The provider I got the glasses from did not want to help because we are no longer patients. Davis vision warranty is one year for glasses costing $600. Unfortunately our employer is the one who chose these people but the insurance isn't worth the paper it's written on and why the providers are dropping Davis Vision? They keep dropping the rate they pay the doctors for the exam. What kind of eye doctor do you think you... Read More

Very limited coverage. Their are only two providers who accept this insurance in the 3 closest cities where I live. Customer service is either rude or is unknowledgeable . I can not wait to change insurance as soon as I am eligible. Would give 0 starts if i could.

Absolutely terrible experience. Two orders placed through two different providers. Both providers totally frustrated by the order entry process. which took two weeks for provider-1 and was only resolved by me (the insured) calling Davis. Provider-2 order was accepted, then cancelled. Davis admitted the error and said they would reinstate the order, but did not until two weeks later when I called them. Davis then further delayed the order and refused to expedite it. DO NOT USE DAVIS VISION!

Terrible insurance. After being promised that I would be reimbursed for glasses up to $100, I got $14 back after several delays and weeks of trying to get in touch with customer service. I wish my employer did better by us, this insurance is cheap, does not reimburse anything useful, and not worth the cost. Probably would have been cheaper to just pay out of pocket.

I submitted a claim to Davis vision in May 2019, and after 8 calls to the customer service center over the past year, I still have not received my reimbursement for my eye lenses. The customer service representative assures me each time that they see my claim, they will resubmit the claim, and that I should receive a check soon. However, after one year, they have failed to do so!!!

HORRIFIC CUSTOMER SERVICE when I called over a period of 4 months regarding my reimbursement check. I cancelled the service. DO NOT USE THEM.

I am on my 4th pair of glasses in two years. The anti-glare coating keeps wearing off causing the lenses to be blurry. I have reached out to Davis Vision customer service to speak to a supervisor/manager and no one calls me back. Davis Vision is not worth the $102 voucher to purchase glasses.

One star is too much for Davis vision. I have been trying for weeks to reach out to someone regarding a awfully mounted lens for two of our patients. It seems impossible to talk to someone and when you do, not only are they extremely rude but they transfer you to another department. Once you are transferred, I had two representatives say "I don't know why they transferred you here!" So who is going to help me? I have an upset patient waiting weeks for something to be done! Now we are redoing the order at our expense just to satisfy our patient.
