No, typically government healthcare schemes do not cover LASIK surgery unless it’s deemed medically necessary due to specific eye conditions. LASIK is considered an elective procedure for vision correction rather than a medical necessity in most cases. Government healthcare programs prioritize essential medical needs and treatments that are necessary to maintain or improve health.
However, private insurance plans may offer coverage for LASIK surgery depending on the policy terms and the individual’s specific coverage. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider or healthcare authority for precise details on coverage options.
