Eye Care - Glaucoma Screening
 

You pay 20% of Medicare-approved amounts.

Medicare covers glaucoma screening, once every 12 months for people at high risk for glaucoma. This includes people with diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, or African-Americans who are age 50 or older. The screening must be done or supervised by an eye doctor who is legally allowed to do this service in your state.

Medicare is the name given to a health insurance program administered by the United States government, covering people who are either age 65 and over, or who meet other special criteria.
