What We Review
Routine Eye Exams
Original Medicare only covers eye exams related to medical conditions. Vision plans fill the gap for annual routine exams.
Eyeglasses & Contact Lenses
Many Medicare Advantage plans include an annual allowance for frames, lenses, or contacts. We compare allowance amounts across available plans.
Standalone vs. Bundled Vision
Decide whether a standalone vision policy or vision benefits bundled into a Medicare Advantage plan offers better value for your needs.
Network Providers
Check that your preferred optometrist or ophthalmologist participates in the plan network before enrolling.
How we're paid: SwitchBlue provides no-cost Medicare guidance to consumers. When you enroll in a plan through our agency, we may receive a standard commission from the insurance carrier. You pay the same plan premium whether you enroll on your own or through our agency.
