I’ve wanted to try contact lenses in the past, because I was told they would probably improve my vision significantly, but the lenses are expensive. The cost of fitting and contact lenses is often covered in part or in full by medical and/or vision insurances for patients who have medical eye conditions that require the use of a contact lens to achieve functional vision. If you have a medical eye condition causing reduced vision that is only correctable with contact lenses, the use of contact lenses is not considered “cosmetic,” and these services may be covered by your insurance.
