Eye exams and new glasses without paying full price.
Vision insurance covers a routine eye exam each year and gives you an allowance toward frames, lenses or contacts. Original Medicare does not pay for routine exams or glasses, so this coverage fills a common gap. Julieann compares standalone vision plans and dental and vision bundles that can cost less together.

Nothing on this page is a quote or an offer of insurance. Coverage, pricing and eligibility depend on the carrier, underwriting and your state.
Compare the frame allowance, not only the premium
Two vision plans with the same monthly price can give you very different allowances for frames and lenses. The allowance decides what you pay at the counter.
Julieann checks the exam copay, the frame allowance and the lens options on each plan, then checks whether your eye doctor is in network.
If you also need dental, she prices a bundle, which often costs less than two separate plans.
