Active-duty military members receive vision care through TRICARE.
If you retired from the service, you may have the option to enroll in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program, or FEDVIP.
FEDVIP offers vision insurance plans as an enrollee-pay-all program, meaning you won't receive any subsidy or offset toward your plan's premium costs.
