Vision Care

Vision care coverage helps pay for prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sometimes laser eye surgery. It promotes preventive eye health and ensures access to corrective eyewear when needed.

‍

Most health insurance plans provide a specific maximum for vision care every one or two years. Coverage may include lenses, frames, and fittings. Laser eye surgery may be included as an alternative to eyewear within the same maximum.

‍

Example:

‍

If your plan covers up to $250 every two years for vision care and you purchase glasses for $300, you receive $250 and pay $50.

‍

What to Watch For:

‍

Check whether your plan separates eyewear and exam benefits or combines them under a single limit. Also confirm the renewal cycle, which may differ from a calendar year.
