Does Health Insurance Cover Eye Surgery? 
The answer to whether health insurance will cover eye surgery depends upon the medical reason for the procedure . Many eye surgeries are designed to correct impaired vision . Procedures such as LASIK eye surgery are designed solely to correct vision and are generally not covered . Other eye surgeries are needed to address an underlying medical issue .
