Vision Insurance
What's more important to protect than your eyes? Work with one of our vision insurance specialists to get the coverage you need at the most affordable price.
Vision Insurance
Good vision is an important part of maintaining overall health and quality of life. Regular eye exams can help detect vision problems early and identify potential health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and glaucoma.
Vision insurance helps make eye care more affordable by covering routine eye exams, glasses, contact lenses, and other vision-related services.
Whether you need coverage for yourself, your family, or as a supplement to Medicare, vision insurance can help reduce the cost of maintaining healthy eyesight.
What Vision Insurance Typically Covers
Vision insurance plans typically include benefits for preventive eye care and vision correction services.
Routine Eye Exams
Most plans help cover regular eye exams that evaluate your vision and screen for potential eye health issues. Eye exams may help detect conditions such as:
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Cataracts
- Diabetic eye disease

Coverage levels vary depending on the plan and network providers.
Preventive Eye Health
Routine eye exams do more than correct vision. They can also help identify underlying health conditions early.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular eye exams are an important part of preventive healthcare.

Vision Insurance and Medicare
Many people assume Medicare covers routine vision care, but Original Medicare generally does not cover routine eye exams for glasses or contact lenses.
Medicare may cover certain medically necessary eye care services, such as treatment for eye diseases or surgery, but routine vision care is typically not included.
Because of this, many Medicare beneficiaries choose to purchase separate vision insurance or select a Medicare Advantage plan that includes vision benefits.
