Does Health Insurance Cover Contact Lenses? 
Most health insurance plans will cover disease related conditions that may affect your vision . For example , an ocular nevus is a melanoma of the eye , and would be covered . Corrective lenses are rarely covered , as poor vision is not disease related . Contact lenses for adults are therefore rarely covered by health insurance . The Affordable Care Act does stipulate that vision services for children be included as an essential health benefit .
