Vision insurance typically covers routine eye exams, prescription eyewear (glasses and contact lenses), and sometimes discounts on vision correction surgeries like LASIK. However, it usually does not cover medical treatments for eye diseases or non-prescription eyewear.

A dental insurance waiting period is the time after you enroll when certain services like fillings or crowns aren’t covered, while preventive care like cleanings is often covered immediately. Waiting periods typically last 3 to 12 months depending on the plan and procedure type.

Medicare does not cover most routine dental and vision care. It only provides limited coverage for dental services that are medically necessary and related to other covered medical treatments.
