Contacts + Insurance =?

Question

I have horrible eyesight and I would like my mom to buy me some contacts. I asked her if I could get some contacts instead of the glasses I have now and she replied "We can't until we wait another 2 years for your insurance". I asked her again and she said I can't get new glasses or anything until that 2 years is up. Why can't I just get my contacts now? I'm just 12 and I really don't get why I can't get them now. Can someone please explain?

Answer 1

because most insurance companies only cover an eye exam every year and new glasses every two years. stop being ungrateful and wear your glasses.
