What if I have extended medical insurance?
Extended medical insurance in British Columbia (BC) may provide coverage for optometry expenses, although this can differ based on the particular insurance plan you hold.

Are BC residents covered for eye care expenses under MSP?
Regular eye checkups are not covered by MSP for individuals between 19 and 64 years old. Changes in vision that require glasses or contact lenses are not considered medically necessary according to MSP criteria.
However, seniors aged 65 or above and children under 18 in BC receive yearly benefits for eye exams through MSP. In case of eye emergencies, partial coverage is available for all BC residents, regardless of age. Please contact our office for more information about co-pay fees.
