EyeMed insurance contacts

If you have EyeMed insurance, your policy likely covers both disposable and conventional contacts:

• Disposable contacts: These contact lenses are designed to be worn from 1 day to 1 month and thrown away. They're thin and light, and if you choose daily disposables, you won't need to clean them.

• Conventional contacts: Conventional contacts last longer — usually anywhere from a month to a year. You'll need to clean them every night, but you'll spend less money than you would with disposables. (We love a deal.)

No matter which type of contacts you wear, EyeMed will give you an annual allowance to offset the cost. If your contacts exceed your allowed dollar amount, you'll be responsible for paying the difference.

How do you know how much your EyeMed contact lens allowance is? Coverage varies by plan, so you'll need to check your benefits summary. It'll tell you exactly how much is covered and which types of lenses are eligible.

Let's take a look at some of the contact lenses EyeMed insurance plans cover.

Types of contacts that EyeMed insurance covers

EyeMed insurance generally covers these types of contact lenses:

• Disposable lenses: EyeMed plans typically cover disposables, which is helpful because they need to be replaced frequently. (Another reason to shop online.) You can usually choose from daily, weekly, and monthly contacts, depending on your preferences.

• Conventional lenses: This type of contact, which you can wear longer, is covered under most EyeMed plans. It includes soft lenses, toric contacts for astigmatism, and multifocal and bifocal contacts.

• Medically necessary contact lenses: Because these contacts are highly customized, they may be covered differently — check your specific plan for details. This might be a consideration if you wear vial contacts or your contacts are prescribed for conditions such as keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, post-surgical corneal irregularities, or severe dry eye. Prescription color contacts may also fall into this category.

What else does EyeMed cover?

EyeMed insurance plans often cover services and products in addition to contacts, such as glasses, lens fittings, contact lens supplies, and visits with your eye care professional. Of course, every EyeMed plan is different, so it's a good idea to check your specific benefits to find out exactly what's covered.

Vision products and services frequently covered by EyeMed include:

• Contact lens fitting and follow-up visits: EyeMed insurance typically covers the initial eye exam, where your eye care professional fits you for contact lenses. Once you order EyeMed contacts online, your policy may also cover up to two follow-up visits to make sure your lenses fit comfortably and correct your vision effectively. (You deserve a great experience.)

• Eyeglass frames and lenses: Prefer to switch between contacts and glasses? You may be able to use your EyeMed benefits to pay for glasses as well as contacts. If you need prescription glasses, check out The Framery — it's 1-800 Contacts' own eyewear brand offering full pairs starting at $79. While EyeMed is out of network, you can get reimbursed by submitting a claim for your EyeMed online glasses purchase.

• Contact lens solution and supplies: Standard EyeMed policies don't usually cover these supplies. However, if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in addition to your EyeMed plan, you can typically use it to pay for contact lens solution and other supplies.
