Vision insurance is one of the most misunderstood benefits in healthcare. Most plans cover one exam and one pair of frames per year, with a frame allowance of $130–$175. Specialty lenses, contact lens fittings, and medical eye care beyond the basic exam are overwhelmingly out-of-pocket. For a family of four where everyone wears glasses, the annual out-of-pocket can easily reach $1k–$2.5k.

DRODE Helps

DRODE makes healthcare payments simple—one wallet for exams, lenses, therapy, vet visits, and more, with transparent pricing and lower transaction costs.

Fund your wallet monthly ($35–$100/mo) so the money is there when you need dental care

DRODE dentists publish their pricing so you can see costs before you book

Pay from your wallet with one tap—no credit card debt

Your dentist pays a 1.5% transaction fee instead of 2.5–3.5% on credit cards

Unspent funds stay in your wallet, earn rewards, and can be used for any DRODE provider

Use it for the whole family—your cleaning, your kid's fillings, your spouse's crown
