What does vision insurance cover?

HealthInsuranceFAQs, June 16, 2026June 16, 2026

Vision insurance is typically a low-cost plan that covers a routine eye exam and gives an allowance toward glasses or contact lenses, usually once every 12 months, plus in-network discounts. It is not medical eye care; injuries and eye disease are handled by your health plan.
