The services covered by vision insurance depends on the specific plan you purchase. But in general, you’ll receive benefits for vision exams, corrective lenses (glasses or contacts), and eyeglass frames.[0]

Some plans may provide benefits for refractive surgery (such as LASIK), while others may not, considering such surgery to be cosmetic (medically unnecessary).[1]

Be sure to read the documents for any plan you’re considering, for details on what is covered and what is excluded.
