About Universal Sompo Eyewear Plan

A quick read on what this Universal Sompo Health Insurance plan covers and why it might be a fit for you.

'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.' - Plato

This is why you should protect your eyes at any cost.

The eyes are one of the most sensitive organs we human beings have. We cannot even imagine our lives without eyes. What if someone's eyesight becomes blurry due to an accident, making their life difficult? Many people need various special eyewear, including spectacles, lenses, and sunglasses, to get clear vision and continue their day-to-day activities normally.

There are thousands of health insurance policies out there, but few companies offer coverage for protecting eye-related accessories. This is where Universal Sompo Health Insurance stands out by providing coverage options for eyewear.

The Universal Sompo Eyewear Insurance Plan gives you the freedom to maintain the health of your eyes. There has been an increased strain on our vision due to extended screen time and working on devices like laptops and desktops. As a result, more people have started wearing advanced sunglasses (with blue/chromatic filters) and lenses to protect their eyes from hyper-ultraviolet rays and reduce eye strain.

The Universal Sompo Eye Wear Insurance Policy ensures you are covered for vision needs such as spectacles, sunglasses, lenses, and all kinds of glasses required for eye protection. Additionally, you get extended coverage if your optical items (which you have coverage for) have suffered loss, damage, or theft. This page discusses all the coverage benefits, inclusions and exclusions, the process of claiming the policy, and the company's contact details.
