Eye Care Insurance Information
Two kinds of insurance
Vision Insurance vs. Medical Insurance
Vision insurance and medical insurance are not the same, and they’re used for different types of visits. Vision insurance helps with routine needs like glasses and contact lenses, while medical insurance covers visits for scratches, infections, injuries, and other non-routine medical issues. Knowing the difference helps you get the most out of your benefits and prevents surprises.
Vision Insurance Plans
Your insurance may cover portions of your annual eye care needs. This includes:
-
Prescription eyeglasses
-
Contact lens evaluations
-
Contact lens allowances
-
Frame allowances
-
Lens upgrades (anti-glare, blue light filters, progressives, etc.)
Medical Insurance Plans
Medical insurance steps in when your eye visit involves symptoms, disease, and other non-routine visits. This includes:
-
Red, itchy, or painful eyes
-
Sudden blurry vision or floaters
-
Eye injuries or infections
-
Dry eye evaluations and treatment
-
Diabetic eye exams
-
Eye disease diagnosis and management (glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc.)
-
Medically necessary tests
