MASON, Ohio— EyeMed Vision Care’s customer call center has earned two honors from BenchmarkPortal, a research and education organization for customer access issues. EyeMed’s customer call center received its third straight “Certified Center of Excellence” designation from BenchmarkPortal, and it was also ranked in the Top 15 of the Top 100 Award for the second year in a row.

The Center of Excellence recognition is awarded to call centers that rank in the top 10 percent of call centers surveyed.
