Vision coverage is included in most Medicare Advantage plans, covering what Original Medicare does not: routine eye exams and an annual eyewear allowance for glasses or contact lenses.
Most Medicare Advantage vision benefits in NC and SC include 1 routine eye exam per year with a $0 or low copay, plus a $100–$200 allowance for frames, lenses, or contacts at participating optical providers. Some plans have enhanced allowances through networks like VSP or EyeMed.
