June 6th is recognized as Visually Impaired People Day, making it an important time to highlight how Medicare handles vision care and eye health.
Original Medicare focuses on medical coverage, which means it typically helps with diagnosing and treating eye-related medical conditions but does not include routine vision exams. Many Medicare Advantage plans, however, do offer routine eye exam benefits and additional vision-related services.
We put together a quick overview to help you understand the differences in coverage and what each type of plan may include.
