Medicaid, the federal medical insurance program, will pay for refractive surgery only if you can prove that it is a medical necessity and no other alternative is appropriate. That would be a virtually impossible task. You would need to prove that you cannot wear glasses or contacts of any kind, and that you cannot function normally without vision correction.
Start saving your money.
