I guess you could not buy glasses online using your health care . Why not call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask for definite answer ? the cost may vary according to different cares . Some insurance will not cover the cost for eyeglasses . They will be generally included in the vision insurance .

It depends. Which kind of insurance do you have? I heard that walmart and lenscrafters may accept some insurance so they will cover for a small part of the glasses. But you'd better consult your provider of the health care company first.

Some insurance plans will cover a part of your eyeglasses fees. But they can only be taken by local eyeglasses shops. If you want to buy a pair of glasses online, some online stores don't accept them. But you can consult the customer services online to know more. Good luck!

I suggest you to buy a pair of glasses in your local area. Some optical shop will accept insurances, so you can cover a part of the fees. Some online optical stores won't accept your insurance so that you can't cover your eyeglasses with insurances.

It depends on which kind of insurance plan do you have. I suggest you to consult your provider for detailed information because he or she knows exactly what your insurance plan covers for.

Dude, some online optical stores don't accept insurances. I know Firmoo doesn't accept any insurance. Maybe you can have a try in any local eyeglasses stores. Good luck!

Vision insurance policies typically cover routine eye exams and other procedures, and provide specified dollar amounts or discounts for the purchase of eyeglasses and contact lenses. Some vision insurance policies also offer discounts on refractive surgery, such as LASIK and PRK. However, I do not think it will cover the cost for buying eyeglasses oneline.
