Vision insurance typically covers routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses, but not medical eye conditions, which fall under regular health insurance. When choosing a plan, it's important to evaluate provider networks, out-of-pocket costs, coverage limits, and benefits such as allowances for eyewear or discounts on LASIK. It is important to compare plans carefully to ensure they meet your specific vision and budget needs.
