Understanding Medicare

Medicare covers a range of essential eye care services.

This includes:

  • Eye Exams: Comprehensive eye tests for eligible patients
  • Children’s Eye Tests: Bulk billed, ensuring no out-of-pocket costs for parents
  • Chronic Disease Management: Eye care related to chronic conditions like diabetes

Private Health

Private health insurance can cover additional eye care costs, including:

  • Prescription Glasses and Contact Lenses: Depending on your level of cover, you can claim benefits for eyewear
  • Specialised Eye Treatments: Some plans cover advanced treatments such as orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and Blephasteam therapy for dry eye
