VSP Provides Eyecare Certificates to Red Cross for
Hurricane Survivors

Sacramento CA, September 14, 2005 — Vision Service Plan (VSP),
a national eyecare benefit provider with 41 million members,
has joined forces with the American Red Cross to help bring
vision services to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

VSP is working in conjunction with the Red Cross to distribute
vouchers for eye exams and replacement eyewear. Currently, more
than 27,000 vouchers have been provided at both the national
and chapter levels in 27 states, including Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia. Voucher recipients will be entitled to
receive a free eye exam and glasses from a local eye doctor.

"The collaboration between VSP and the Red Cross provides
critical vision services to our fellow Americans during their
time of need," said Roger J. Valine, president and CEO of VSP.
"Working together, we are able to reach out to a vast number
of hurricane victims and offer vital eye exam and eyewear
services."

The Red Cross is pleased with VSP's leadership in this often
overlooked element of disaster relief. "The reality is that
countless victims lost prescription glasses during the
devastating hurricane," said Kathleen Loehr, Vice President
of Strategic Fundraising for the American Red Cross. "Granting
comprehensive vision services -and the eyewear to see clearly
again - is an important step in enabling these victims to
rebuild their lives."
