Health Insurance vs. Vision Insurance


Understanding the difference between health insurance and vision insurance is key to knowing what’s covered. Vision insurance typically covers routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses, while health insurance is used for medical eye conditions, such as infections, glaucoma, or diabetic eye care. If your visit involves a medical diagnosis, it may be billed under your health insurance rather than vision coverage.

Still not sure about your eye care coverage? Stop by our eye clinic today for help determining which plan applies to your specific needs, and how to make the most of your insurance.
