Vision Benefits Below is a sample of the Davis

Vision ID card, which includes

your CIR Member ID number.

You will receive this ID card in

the mail from the insurer. Only

the primary card holder's name

will appear on this ID card.

It’s easy to take good vision for granted. However, getting our vision

checked each year is just as important as your annual physical or annual

dental check-up. That’s why the Plan offers vision benefits through

Davis Vision, which includes eye exams, eyeglass lenses and frames, and

contact lenses.
