Your 2026 Vision Benefit

What do your eyes tell you? They can help you find a loved one at the airport. They can distinguish warning signs on the road. They can take in a new bestseller and help you better understand instructions for a medication.

In a vision check-up, your eyes also can reveal broader health issues, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, different types of cancer, and more.

It’s important to have regular exams not only to keep lens prescriptions up to date, but to detect sight-threatening conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, in their early stages.

Health New England’s Medicare Advantage plans offer vision benefits through our partner, NationsBenefits, that make it easier for you to take top-notch care of your vision.
