Routine vision eye exams are not covered by Medicare. This would be covered under a separate vision insurance plan or you would pay out of pocket.
If a vision exam is deemed medically necessary by your doctor, Medicare may cover it. An example of when this might happen is if someone is diabetic and the doctor is concerned about the possibility of retinopathy, he/she may order a vision exam. In that type of instance, Medicare would cover the exam.
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
