About VSP
The VSP Choice Network offers more than 70,000 access points at nearly 23,000 independent locations, and 16,000 retail chain access points at nearly 8,000 retail locations.
VSP is known for its broad range of independent vision retailers, including upscale and boutique eyewear shops that may not be part of other networks. VSP emphasizes relationships with independent optometrists and specialty retailers, so it's often the pick for people who want designer frames, unique eyewear collections, or a more personalized experience - while EyeMed's retail chains offer easy walk-in convenience.
