Vision Insurance
Exams, glasses and contacts — covered
Like dental, vision care in the U.S. is its own separate policy. Plans are inexpensive and typically pay for themselves with one pair of glasses. I'll match a plan to how you actually use eye care.

What a vision plan covers
A typical plan includes an annual comprehensive eye exam with a small copay, an allowance toward frames or contact lenses each year, and discounts on lens upgrades and additional pairs.
If you buy glasses or contacts at all, the math usually works: premiums are low, and a single exam plus a pair of glasses without insurance often costs more than a year of coverage.
Vision plans are usually bought together with dental and a health plan — I'll bundle the comparison so you see the complete picture at once.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is an eye exam covered by my health insurance?
Routine vision exams for adults generally aren't covered by ACA health plans — that's exactly what vision insurance is for. Medical eye conditions are a different story and go through health insurance.
Is it worth it if I just buy glasses once a year?
Usually yes — the annual exam plus the frame/lens allowance typically exceeds the yearly premium. I'll show you the exact math for the plans available to you.
