Insurance coverage for eye and geriatric medicine treatments in Singapore depends on the individual’s insurance policy, treatment type, medical necessity and eligibility.
- Eye Treatments: Medically necessary procedures, such as cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery and retinal repair, may be covered under MediShield Life or eligible Integrated Shield Plans, subject to applicable conditions and claim limits. Elective vision correction procedures, such as LASIK, are generally excluded from standard hospitalisation coverage.
