OHIP covers one eye exam every year for children under 20 and every 18 months for seniors 65 and older. However, OHIP does not cover eyeglasses for these age groups. Those with specific medical conditions may have different eligibility. Always verify your coverage details with OHIP for accuracy.
For Ontarians under 20, OHIP covers eye exams, but glasses are typically not included under standard health insurance. Many people supplement OHIP coverage with private insurance that may offer assistance for eyeglasses.
Understanding OHIP coverage is essential for Ontarians and seniors as they navigate their healthcare options. The lack of coverage for glasses can lead to financial burden for those reliant on vision correction. Knowing this, it’s important for individuals to explore additional insurance options or programs designed for assistance. In the following section, we will discuss alternative support programs available for those seeking help with vision care costs.
