   Medicare doesn't pay for glasses. In short, you will need to secure coverage under a separate vision insurance plan to receive benefits for glasses, contacts, and other routine services.
   
   Part B can provide coverage for some preventive and diagnostic eye exams for people at high-risk of certain conditions (e.g. diagnosing retinopathy in diabetics or mascular degeneration for age-related conditions). You can check out the medicare.gov website for more specific information regarding condition/risk requirements for Medicare to pay benefits.
