Keep your eyes healthy and your costs low

Vision

Keep your eyes healthy and your costs low

Your eyes do more than help you see — a routine eye exam can catch early signs of serious conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure long before symptoms appear. Vision insurance makes it easy and affordable to keep up with regular eye care.

What vision insurance covers

Annual eye exams — usually covered with a small copay.

Lenses & frames — coverage for standard lenses plus a frame allowance.

Contact lenses — an allowance you can use instead of glasses.

Discounts — reduced pricing on extras, sometimes including LASIK.

Who Benefits Most

Families, seniors, and everyday wearers

Vision insurance is especially valuable for anyone who wears glasses or contacts, since the annual allowances offset costs you would otherwise pay in full. Families find it useful because children's eyes change quickly and regular exams are important for learning. For adults and seniors, routine exams are a key part of catching age-related eye conditions early.

Original Medicare generally does not cover routine vision care such as eye exams for glasses, or the glasses and contacts themselves. Some Medicare Advantage plans include a vision benefit, but the details vary. A standalone vision plan is often the simplest way to get consistent, predictable coverage.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How often can I get new glasses?

Most plans provide covered lenses each year and a frame allowance either yearly or every other year, depending on the plan.

Can I use my benefit for contacts instead of glasses?

Yes. Most plans offer a contact lens allowance you can choose in place of glasses for the year.

Does Medicare cover routine eye exams?

Original Medicare generally does not cover routine exams for glasses or the eyewear itself. A standalone vision plan can fill that gap.

Can the whole family be on one plan?

Yes. Family vision plans cover children and adults together, and the yearly allowances apply to each covered member.
