C provides third-party coverage for A and B (and often D). It's up to 
insurance companies what any particular plan covers (beyond some 
mandated minimum), what it costs, and whether it's available where you 
are. In my area, C plans that include dental and eyewear are much more 
expensive (like 2X) than those that don't.

Fortunately, vendors such as zennioptical sell eyeware at reasonable 
prices. There doesn't seem to be any good solution for dental, though.
