Does your health insurance cover medical eye exams? I don't know the differences between the type of exams. Still, given that health insurance tends to cover ophthalmological exams and procedures since they are "medical," perhaps there is a way to get that cost covered given your current insurance coverage.

For example, I had an eye infection and saw an ophthalmologist, had an ocular ultrasound, had lab work, and got some prescriptions, and they were all covered by my PPO plan.

Your medical covered it because you had an infection. Most medical policies exclude eye conditions like farsightedness, nearsightedness, etc.
