With the year coming to an end, it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re making the most of your vision benefits before they reset. Many insurance plans, including flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and vision-specific insurance, operate on a “use it or lose it” basis, meaning they won’t carry over into the new year.
To help you take full advantage of your benefits, Image Eyecare Optometry offers a range of essential eye care services, from comprehensive exams to contact lens fittings and stylish frames.
If you haven’t scheduled your appointment yet, now is the best time to do so! Here’s why using your remaining benefits is both beneficial and convenient.
Why Year-End Eye Care Appointments Matter
Scheduling your year-end appointment is an easy way to invest in your eye health while saving on essential services. By maximizing your benefits, you’re setting yourself up for clear, healthy vision in the new year. Here are some key services to consider:
- Comprehensive Eye Exams: Annual eye exams are about much more than just updating your prescription. Our team at Image Eyecare Optometry thoroughly assesses your eye health, checking for common but often undetected conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
- Designer Frames and Prescription Eyewear: If you’re ready for a style refresh, using your vision benefits for new frames is a great choice! Many insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of prescription glasses, allowing you to update your eyewear without the full out-of-pocket expense.
- Contact Lens Exams and Fittings: For our contact lens wearers, an annual fitting is essential. Even if your vision feels fine, changes in eye shape or health over time can affect your lens fit and comfort. Our team specializes in personalized contact lens fittings, ensuring you have the right prescription and fit for maximum comfort.
Maximizing Your FSA Dollars
In addition to vision insurance, flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are also often “use it or lose it” funds. If you have remaining FSA dollars, here’s how you can put them to good use at Image Eyecare Optometry:
- Stock Up on Contact Lenses: Ordering a supply of contact lenses using FSA dollars is a practical way to ensure you’re well-prepared for the year ahead.
- Specialty Lenses for Added Comfort: If you experience digital eye strain, now might be a good time to consider blue-light blocking lenses, which can ease eye fatigue and are covered by FSA funds.
- Prescription Sunglasses: Protecting your eyes from UV rays is important all year long. Prescription sunglasses are FSA-eligible and a stylish, practical way to spend any remaining funds.
