Vision insurance is a type of health insurance that provides coverage for routine eye care and related expenses. This typically includes benefits for regular eye exams, prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sometimes partial coverage for corrective surgeries like LASIK. Vision insurance helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for eye care and encourages regular check-ups to maintain good eye health. Policyholders usually pay monthly premiums, and plans often include co-payments, allowances, and discounts for vision-related services and products.
