Insurance or Medicare does not cover the cost of lens replacement for presbyopia patients. However, if a patient has developed visually significant cataracts, insurance or Medicare will cover the cost of surgery for a standard IOL. For an additional charge, patients may opt to upgrade to the newer presbyopia correcting lenses.
