Maximize Your Vision Benefits: Why You Should Use Your Insurance Before the Year Ends

As the year comes to a close, it’s time to think about maximizing your vision benefits. Many vision insurance plans operate on a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy, meaning unused benefits don’t roll over into the new year. By taking advantage of your coverage now, you can prioritize your eye health and enjoy clear, comfortable vision while saving money. Here’s how Indigo Vision Center can help you make the most of your insurance before it’s too late.
 

Schedule an Eye Exam

An annual comprehensive eye exam is essential for maintaining good vision and overall eye health. Even if you haven’t noticed changes in your vision, routine exams can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration. If you’ve been putting off your exam, now is the perfect time to schedule it.
 

If your prescription has changed or your glasses are starting to feel less effective, now is the time to update it. Accurate prescriptions ensure you see clearly and avoid unnecessary eye strain, which is especially important in today’s digital world.
 

Upgrade Your Frames and Lenses

Tired of your old frames or ready for a fresh look? Use your insurance benefits to upgrade to stylish new frames that reflect your personality. If you need more functionality, consider adding lens enhancements like blue light protection, anti-glare coatings, or transition lenses. These upgrades not only improve your vision but also make your eyewear more versatile and durable.
 

Stock Up on Contact Lenses

Contact lens wearers, this is your chance to stock up! Insurance often covers contact lenses, so don’t wait until you’re down to your last pair. Order enough to carry you into the new year, and if you’ve been curious about trying new lenses, our team can help you explore options that might better suit your lifestyle and needs.
 

Utilize Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA)

If you have an FSA or HSA, don’t forget that these funds can often be used for vision-related expenses, including glasses, contact lenses, and eye exams. Many FSA plans also have a year-end deadline, so be sure to check your account balance and take advantage of this tax-free money while you can.
 

Why Act Now?

Waiting until the last minute can mean limited appointment availability, especially during the busy holiday season. Acting now ensures you get the services and products you need without feeling rushed. Plus, you’ll head into the new year with improved vision and peace of mind knowing you made the most of your benefits.
