Does Medicare Cover Eye Care Following Cataract Surgery?

As a rule, Medicare does not cover eyeglasses or contact lenses. But if you have cataract surgery with an intraocular lens, Medicare will cover services provided by an optometrist if the optometrist is licensed to provide service in your state. Medicare will also help pay for cataract glasses, contact lenses and intraocular lenses provided by an optometrist following cataract surgery.
