How Much Does Medicare Pay For Eye Exams? 
Typically Medicare does not cover vision . If you have glaucoma - then it becomes a medical issue and your appointments with your eye doctor can be covered . IF you have cataracts , Medicare will pay for a pair of glasses or contacts after your cataract surgery . But make sure the supplier of such is contracted with Medicare . If , however , it is a `` routine eye check '' , say for new glasses or contacts , it is not covered by Medicare . Hope this clarifies ! Belinda WEBSITELINK
