Health insurance would only cover eye surgery if a disease of the eye is involved, such as cataracts or glaucoma. Corrective Lasik surgery is generally not covered by most health insurance companies. It is considered elective. This means that you want it done for cosmetic reasons. It could be covered under a vision plan however.
Many vision insurance plans will cover Lasik surgery. Sometimes major medical health insurance policies will cover Lasik surgery if the procedure will restore sight or make a major improvement in your vision when all other corrective procedures have been ineffective.
If you have a medical condition that affected your vision and Lasik is recommended your regular health insurance policy may cover the procedure.
