Does vision insurance cover eye surgery?

The out-of-pocket cost to you can vary by plan. Many vision insurance plans offer allowances for eyeglasses and contact lenses. For example, your plan may give you a $200/year allowance on frames. Once you spend more than $200 on frames in a year, you pay the difference out of pocket. It’s rare for vision insurance to cover eye surgery procedures.
