Only with medical justification from an ophthalmologist. Health insurance only covers contact lenses if they are medically necessary. This is the case, for example, for nearsightedness or farsightedness with more than 8.0 diopters. In cases of anisometropia (unqualified vision of both eyes by more than 2 diopters) and astigmatism, the cost of contact lenses is also covered if they provide at least 20% better results than glasses.

The health insurance company does not cover colored lenses.
If you had written down your data on the severity of your current refractive error, including your visual acuity, it would be possible to judge whether it was yes or no.
Without this, one can only say: fundamentally not, but under certain conditions it would be possible.
No, although I once had "special contact lenses" that didn't increase your diopters. These are more expensive than regular lenses, so my health insurance covers them. But only if you're under 18.
No, otherwise I could have saved a lot of money
