Chapter 4: Medical Benefi ts Chart (what is covered Medical and what Benefi you ts Chart pay)<br />

Services that are covered for you<br />

Vision care<br />

Covered services include:<br />

• Outpatient physician services for the diagnosis and treatment of<br />

diseases and injuries of the eye, including treatment for age-related<br />

macular degeneration. Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine eye<br />

exams (eye refractions) for eyeglasses/contacts.<br />

• For people who are at high risk of glaucoma, such as people with<br />

a family history of glaucoma, people with diabetes, and African-<br />

Americans who are age 50 and older: glaucoma screening once per<br />

year.<br />

• One pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses after each cataract surgery<br />

that includes insertion of an intraocular lens. (If you have two<br />

separate cataract operations, you cannot reserve the benefi t after the<br />

fi rst surgery and purchase two eyeglasses after the second surgery.)<br />

Corrective lenses/frames (and replacements) needed after a cataract<br />

removal without a lens implant.<br />

Covered supplemental services include:<br />

• One pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses per year. Eyewear and contact<br />

lenses are from a limited Davis Vision Selection.<br />

• One routine vision exam per year<br />
