Covering Your Family's Vision Needs in Iroquois County
Iroquois County in east-central Illinois borders Indiana and has a primarily agricultural economy centered on Watseka — many residents buy vision coverage on their own.
Families buy vision coverage for two different groups: children and adults. For most adults, vision coverage is a separate purchase from health insurance, because adult eye exams and glasses aren’t ACA essential health benefits. Iroquois County residents shop for health plans on Get Covered Illinois, and adult vision still has to be bought separately.
Children's Vision Coverage in Iroquois County
School-age children are the strongest case for yearly exams: the American Optometric Association recommends one before first grade and annually through school, since kids seldom notice or report blurry vision.
The ACA covers children’s vision on Marketplace health plans but leaves adult eye exams and glasses out, so parents are usually the ones who need a separate plan.
