Vision insurance can help you cover some of the cost of maintaining healthy vision, such as routine eye exams and contact lens fittings. However, it's important to look around to find the right plan for you.
When you buy vision insurance, it's important to understand all the costs associated with your plan. You should also discuss your benefits with your agent or eyecare professional. For example, some employers provide group vision insurance as part of their benefit packages. Depending on what is included, you may also wish to purchase supplemental vision insurance to cover the cost of exams, eyewear, and other vision necessities for you and your family.
It's important to review individual policies carefully to truly understand what your vision insurance covers. However, most eye insurance plans cover the cost of:
Depending on the type of policy you have, you will typically have to pay at least a portion of the cost for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
LASIK, PRK, and other vision correction surgery have become more mainstream over the past several years. Therefore, some vision insurance will also cover part of the cost or provide a discount for these services.
If you have an eye disease or chronic condition, you will probably receive care under your medical insurance, not your vision insurance. For example, cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye diseases typically do not fall under vision insurance. Instead, you would file a claim with your health insurance company.
