In evaluating the vision benefits IBM provides, here are some things you may want to consider:
- Think about your current vision care needs and those of your family, and consider how they might change over the next year. Keep in mind, the choices you make will apply from your effective date of employment through the end of the year, unless you have a qualified status change that permits you to make a change.
- See Comparing vision options to evaluate your choices and see how the vision options work.
- There may be special tax implications for domestic partner coverage.
- If your spouse or domestic partner has vision coverage with his or her employer, compare your spouse's or domestic partner's plan to the IBM options to help you decide which plan works best for you.
