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!
