Medically necessary contact lenses are non-elective contact lenses, prescribed when certain medical conditions of the eye hinder proper vision correction through eyeglasses or “regular” contact lenses. 

These contact lenses are not worn for cosmetic reasons as is the case for most contact lens wearers. 

Eye diseases and conditions that are considered appropriate for medical contact lenses include: keratoconus, severe dry eye, corneal transplants, corneal scarring, among others. Since these conditions are considered a medical diagnosis, many medical insurances will cover the cost of these types of contact lenses.
