June 6th is recognized as Visually Impaired People Day, and it's an important reminder of how Medicare handles vision care for seniors.
Original Medicare focuses on medical needs, so coverage typically applies only to eye-related medical conditions. Routine vision care isn't included. However, many Medicare Advantage plans do offer benefits like annual eye exams and additional vision services.
We’ve put together a simple overview to help you understand the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage when it comes to vision care.
If you’d like help reviewing how your current coverage supports your eye health, our team at Managed Senior Services is here to offer clear, independent Medicare guidance.
