👓 Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage

When it comes to vision benefits, there's an important difference:

✅ Original Medicare
• Covers medical eye care
• Does NOT typically cover routine eye exams
• Does NOT typically cover glasses (except after certain cataract surgeries)

✅ Many Medicare Advantage plans
• Annual routine eye exams
• Allowances for glasses or contacts
• Additional vision savings

Every plan is different, but knowing the difference can save you money and surprises later.

💲 The hidden cost many retirees don't plan for...

Without routine vision coverage, you could expect to pay:

👁️ Eye exam: $100–$200
👓 Glasses: $150–$400+

Those expenses may not seem huge on their own, but they can add up year after year.

That's why it's worth looking beyond hospital coverage and considering the everyday healthcare expenses you'll face in retirement.

Smart planning today can help avoid unexpected costs tomorrow.

Medicare vision coverage explained: learn what Original Medicare covers, what it doesn’t, and how Medicare Advantage or supplemental vision plans can help reduce out-of-pocket eye care costs.

👀 Medicare Myth: "Original Medicare covers my yearly eye exam."

Not quite.

Original Medicare covers medical eye care, like cataract surgery and exams related to conditions such as glaucoma or diabetic eye disease.

But routine eye exams and glasses? Those are generally not covered.

Many retirees don't realize this until they're paying out of pocket.

Before you choose a Medicare plan, make sure you understand what's included—not just for emergencies, but for the care you'll actually use every year.

Have questions about your options? We're happy to help.
