Covered by medical insurance?
Refractive treatments are a elective, and therefore not covered by private medical insurance.  However, if you are having a cataract procedure and would like to "upgrade" your lens to a refractive lens instead of a monofocal, your insurer may pay for part of your refractive procedure to cover the cataract cost.  Each insurer is different however, so it is important to speak with them before you commence your treatment.
