The Glaucoma Vision Act of 2026 requires health insurance plans to cover annual glaucoma screenings for high-risk individuals at no cost to the patient starting January 1, 2027. High-risk individuals include anyone 40 or older of African, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian ancestry, anyone 40 or older with clinical risk factors like diabetes or family history of glaucoma, and all individuals 60 or older. The bill applies to private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and federal employee health plans. Additionally, the legislation authorizes $10 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award grants for free or low-cost glaucoma screenings in underserved communities during 2027-2028, and provides another $10 million for research into glaucoma treatment and prevention during the same period.
