Alberta Health Care (AHC) Insurance Plan Coverage
The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) provides coverage for eye exams for Alberta residents.
If you have a valid Alberta Health Card and if you are:
- 18 or under or
- 65 or older
The AHC also provides coverage for eye visits that are medically necessary due to illness.
Including:
- Eye or eyelid infections, abrasions, red or pink eye, pain or sudden vision loss
- Foreign body requiring assessment and/or removal
- Retinal examination and diagnostic imaging for diabetic patients
- Monitoring and treatment for chronic eye diseases such as glaucoma and uveitis

It is important to note that routine eye care including eye exam for adults aged 19-64, eyeglass prescription and all contact lens fittings are still uninsured services

Understanding Your Insurance Benefits
Vision insurance differs from standard medical insurance, as it is a wellness benefit designed to reduce the cost of routine eye care, prescription eyewear, and specialty vision services. If you have vision benefits through your employer or personal insurance, you may be eligible for discounted exams and eyewear.
If you have questions about your eye care benefits, our team at OMNI Eyecare in Calgary is happy to help you navigate your coverage and maximise your benefits.
