Vision Insurance for Seniors -- Get a Quote
Original Medicare generally doesn't cover routine eye exams or glasses -- many seniors add standalone vision coverage or choose a Medicare Advantage plan that includes it.
Is this right for you?
- You're on Medicare and want dedicated vision coverage
- You're comparing standalone vision plans to a Medicare Advantage plan's built-in benefit
- You wear glasses or contacts regularly and want to manage that cost
Your options
Dedicated coverage, independent of your Medicare structure.
Bundled into some Medicare Advantage plans -- coverage amount varies by plan.
A lower-cost alternative for people who mainly want reduced rates, not full insurance.
Common questions
Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?
Original Medicare generally does cover medically necessary cataract surgery -- this is different from routine vision care like eye exams for glasses, which it typically doesn't cover.
Is standalone vision insurance better than a Medicare Advantage vision benefit?
Depends on your needs -- worth comparing the specific coverage amounts and allowances of both.
How often should seniors get eye exams?
Often annually is recommended given age-related eye health changes -- a vision plan can make that routine exam more affordable.
