Affordable Eye Care: Financing with Sunbit and CareCredit

Oct 1, 2025 | Vision Benefits

It’s easy to put off scheduling an eye exam or purchasing new glasses when you’re worried about the cost. Some patients delay updating their eyeglasses for months because they don’t want to spend the money right now.  

At Prairie Vista Eye & Optical, we understand that eye care can sometimes feel costly. That’s why we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Sunbit, so you can get the eyewear and treatment you need, when you need it.  

In this blog, we’ll explore how financing can help and ways to get the eye care you need without stressing over the cost. 

Flexible payment options for eye care 

Financing options like Sunbit and CareCredit make it possible to get the vision care you need today, while spreading out payments comfortably. Whether you’re shopping for eyeglasses, sunglasses, or contact lenses, these programs offer solutions designed to fit your budget. 

What is CareCredit? 

CareCredit is a special kind of credit card created to help you manage healthcare and vision expenses. Once you’re approved, you can use it for comprehensive eye exams in Liberal, eyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and other healthcare services. 

CareCredit offers: 

  • Short-term plans: Pay over 6 or 12 months, often interest-free if settled within the promotional period. 
  • Longer-term options: Fixed monthly payments with predictable interest rates for bigger purchases. 
  • Reusable credit: Once approved, you can use the card again for future eye care or other healthcare needs. 

Who would benefit from CareCredit?  

CareCredit works well for patients who want flexible payment options, structured monthly plans, or the ability to spread out costs for recurring care. Approval is based on credit, and the card operates like a standard credit card. 

What is Sunbit?

  • Flexible payment terms: Choose from 3 to 12 months to fit your budget.
