Can myopia surgery be reimbursed by medical insurance?
Myopia surgery cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.

Strictly speaking, myopia surgery is a kind of plastic surgery and cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. The cost of myopia surgery is not covered by medical insurance, mainly because this kind of surgery is voluntary and selective, and it is not a disease that must be treated. I hope to improve my vision through surgery.
