Sacramento, CA – February 16, 2007 – Superior Vision, the nation’s premier managed vision care provider, received the highest marks within the customer service factor of the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 National Vision Plan Member Satisfaction StudySM. Making its debut in the 2006 study, Superior Vision received the second-highest ranking for overall customer satisfaction among the eight plans ranked.

Superior Vision is excited by their first-year results. “We are thrilled that a third-party study of this nature mirrors our internal commitment to setting the gold standard for superior service,” stated Rick Corbett, president and CEO of Superior Vision. “We’ve aligned our organization around offering superior service with every interaction and that clearly shows up in the results we’re seeing here and elsewhere,” he continued.

According to a recent study released by J.D. Power and Associates, vision plan members crave greater benefits, broader networks, and increased service levels. Mr. Corbett also sees these factors as important in a maturing marketplace. “We’re constantly enhancing our offerings to provide superior value to our members. In addition to providing top-notch customer service, we’re continuing to enhance our coverage and plan options, offering extended discounts for things like frame and lens upgrades – and even elective procedures like corrective and cosmetic surgery,” said Mr. Corbett.

“People crave both quality and convenience. It can be a challenge to deliver both while not letting one compromise the other, and we’re up to that challenge,” Mr. Corbett stated. Superior Vision’s continually-expanding network, the largest most diverse nationwide, offers members convenient access to multiple retail and same-day locations, in addition to specialized care from in-network opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists.
