👓 When it comes to eye care, medical insurance and vision insurance play two different but important roles — and many patients don’t realize we often use both!
🔹 Vision Insurance is designed for your routine eye care. This includes your yearly eye exam, updating your glasses or contact lenses, and keeping your prescription current. Think of it as the plan that helps you see clearly day to day.
🔹 Medical Insurance comes into play when there’s a health-related concern with your eyes. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, infections, sudden changes in vision, or any other condition that impacts your eye health, these visits are billed to your medical plan — just like a regular doctor’s office.
At Commerce Family Eyecare, we often use both types of coverage depending on your needs during the appointment. This helps ensure your routine vision care and your overall eye health are fully supported.
