Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is considered medically necessary and covers select procedures.
In addition, Aetna only considers “standard fixed monofocal posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOL)” and a few variations on monofocal lenses to be “medically necessary.”
LASIK
Refractive surgery of any type is excluded from coverage. However, Aetna members with the Aetna Vision plan can get discounted refractive surgery. And the treatment can be paid for using money from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or HSA.
