Routine vision care
One of the biggest shocks to new retirees who were accustomed to employer-provided health-care coverage is that Medicare does not cover routine vision care such as eye exams, glasses, contact lenses or prescription sunglasses, except in cases such as annual eye exams for those with diabetes or glasses following certain kinds of cataract surgery.
Solution: There are several possible remedies. Most Medicare Advantage plans include vision care or those with traditional Medicare can purchase a supplemental vision insurance plan, often paired with dental insurance.
