If you have vision insurance, you’ve probably noticed that most plans operate annually. This means your benefits reset yearly, and any unused perks typically won’t roll over to the following year.
With the end of the year fast approaching, it’s time to maximize your vision insurance benefits before you forfeit them. Schedule your appointment with Ives Eyecare Center to ensure you don’t miss out on valuable savings and care.
What Does Vision Insurance Typically Cover?
Routine exams are vital for monitoring eye health and detecting issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or changes in your vision. Many plans also provide allowances or discounts for eyeglasses or contact lenses, which can help you afford new frames, lenses, or contacts. Some even cover specialty eyewear, such as prescription sunglasses or blue light-blocking glasses, and additional discounts for services like LASIK surgery or lens coatings.
Why You Should Act Now to Use Your Vision Benefits
Review your plan to understand what your insurance covers, including allowances, co-pays, and network providers. Schedule an appointment with a participating optometrist or ophthalmologist to ensure you secure a slot before the calendar fills up. Use your coverage to upgrade your eyewear by investing in high-quality lenses or a stylish new pair of frames.
Additionally, if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use it to pay eligible vision expenses. Remember, these funds often expire at the end of the year, so use them quickly.
