Does Medicare Cover Laser Eye Surgery. Medicare advantage plans are sold by private insurance companies and are an alternative way of receiving medicare health benefits and prescription drug coverage. Lasik eye surgery can correct vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Medicare does not cover laser eye surgery as it is not considered medically necessary. Other lenses, such as multifocal and toric lenses, are generally not covered. The short answer to this question is yes.
