Does anyone know about affordable health insurance for people who are near blind?

A friend has very bad vision, has to get specially made lenses and contact lenses, which for the glasses would cost about $600 even with insurance. She can't get normal coverage due to her bad vision. Are there any insurance companies that would cover more? Please let me know.
--------------------
Right, health insurance doesn't usually cover glasses or contact lenses. You need a vision policy, and they aren't going to take her. In order to get cheap rates, you need to buy coverage BEFORE you have something wrong. Insurance companies are trying to stay in business - if they sold policies AFTER something was already wrong, they'd go bankrupt. She's going to have to pay for these herself.
