You must hold VIP status to order this item in the VIP Benefits Center. Since CTC is not insurance, there are no forms to fill out, claims to file, or waiting periods. Most frames, lenses, and specialty items such as tints, scratch resistant coatings, and ultraviolet protection are available and there is no limit the number of times the member and their family may use the benefits during the year. Discounts on eye exams are available in many areas. Members should ask the CTC customer service representative if discounts on exams are available in their area.
Members call a toll-free number to access a participating physician in their area.
If there is not an ophthalmologist close by, members may give their doctor's name, address, and phone number to a CTC representative and they will be invited to join the program. In keeping with the CTC tradition of contracting with both chain and independent providers, CTC contracts with national chain laser surgery centers to provide discounts on refractive laser surgery. In addition, we contract with independent ophthalmologists who also provide discounts on refractive surgery.
