Medicare and vision insurance
For seniors, age related eye health problems can contribute to vision loss.** That’s why it’s important for seniors to get routine eye exams and to wear glasses, contacts, or bifocals as needed.
While some Medicare Advantage plans offer health, vision, and dental insurance benefits, Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) only offers limited vision coverage that does not include most routine eye care. If you’re not satisfied with your vision coverage under Medicare, you can purchase affordable vision insurance online or over the phone.

**Check your Medicare Plan to see if your vision care needs are covered. And/or if a VSP Individual Vision Plan is right for you. VSP Vision Care does not coordinate benefits with Medicare.
