Medicare Coverage For Eye Care
Medicare provides coverage for select services provided by ophthalmologists. While Medicare doesn’t offer coverage for routine eye exams for glasses or contact lenses, other forms of vision care can be covered by Medicare. Mainly, Medicare covers eye care services for chronic eye conditions like cataracts and glaucoma.
Eye screenings to diagnose a potential eye condition, as well as basic components of surgical procedures used to repair the eye in patients with chronic eye conditions, are covered under Medicare. Additionally, Medicare may cover the cost of new glasses after cataract surgery.
