VISION OPTIONS

LensCrafters at the Haywood Mall and Gosnell-Chapman Vision Care at Cherrydale will provide Furman employees with a 20% discount on checkups, lens and frames by showing their Furman ID. 

There is no cost to the employee or Furman for this program. There are no premiums or claim forms to be filed. When appointments are made, you should indicate that you are from Furman and are, therefore, eligible for the discount. After your doctor visit, you may be asked to show your ID card, then you will receive a bill showing the full cost, the 20% discount and the net cost to you. You will be responsible for paying this net cost.
