Your FSA dollars and vision insurance benefits don’t carry over. Use them before they expire at Lakeside Vision in Hawley.
As the year winds down, it’s easy to get distracted by holidays, school schedules, and work deadlines. But December also brings a deadline you shouldn’t ignore: the expiration of unused vision insurance benefits and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) dollars. If you haven’t scheduled your annual eye exam or updated your glasses or contacts, now is the time.
At Lakeside Vision, we help you maximize your benefits with comprehensive care and a friendly, local team.
What Your Vision Insurance Might Cover
Many insurance plans include more than just basic checkups. Your benefits may include:
- Full eye exams for adults and children
- Prescription eyeglasses, including frames and lenses
- Contact lens exams and supplies
- Optional upgrades like anti-glare coating or photochromic lenses
Taking advantage of these benefits now ensures you're heading into the new year with clear, comfortable vision, and minimal out-of-pocket costs.
What You Can Use FSA Dollars For
Flexible Spending Accounts are designed for healthcare-related expenses, including eye care. But the clock runs out on December 31.
Eligible expenses include:
- Routine eye exams
- Prescription glasses and sunglasses
- Contact lenses and cleaning solutions
- Doctor-recommended treatments, such as dry eye therapy
It’s a great opportunity to invest in your vision health while making the most of your pre-tax dollars.
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
December is one of the busiest months at eye care clinics, and for good reason. But delaying your appointment can lead to missed benefits and unnecessary stress. Here’s why booking now matters:
- Appointment slots fill up quickly
- Holiday season may slow down delivery of glasses or contacts
- Early exams catch issues before they progress
- Families have more flexibility now than during holiday crunch time
Whether it’s a new pair of frames or an overdue check-up, now is the moment to act.
