Original Medicare generally does not pay for routine eyeglasses or routine eye refractions. If you need everyday glasses after a standard eye exam, expect to pay out of pocket unless another benefit applies.
After cataract surgery that implants an intraocular lens, Medicare Part B may cover one pair of eyeglasses with standard frames or one set of contact lenses through a Medicare-enrolled supplier. Coverage details and costs can vary, so confirm before ordering.
Medicare Advantage plans may include routine vision allowances, exams, or eyewear benefits. Those benefits vary by plan, network, allowance, and timing. EyewearPlatform does not sell insurance and does not decide plan benefits.
Before ordering, ask your plan or provider whether you need a specific supplier, claim form, authorization, or receipt. Keep a copy of your prescription and any benefit documents.
