The CSU Vision Plans
Who is VSP?
Founded in 1955, VSP is dedicated solely to providing eyecare wellness benefits through an exclusive network of independent eye doctors. These independent eye doctors are an important component of VSP's focus on eye health, diseases and conditions, and are grouped in the VSP Select Network, which has approximately 17,000 providers.
