Why is LASIK eye surgery considered cosmetic surgery

Question

Why can't it be something that insurance pays for?

Answer 1

Because insurance companies dont want to pay for it. If they figures out how much they spent on glasses and contacts over a patients lifetime, they would realize that they would actually save money.

Answer 2

because you don't NEED it.  that's what glasses and contacts are for, to correct your vision.  there is no medical reason for it.
