FSA 2011: Use It or Lose It!

     FSA 2011: Use It or Lose It!

Many Flexible Spending accounts and vision plans expire at the end of the calendar year. Don't lose those pre-tax dollars and vision benefits. Call now to schedule an eye examination, update your prescription glasses, stock up on contact lenses or treat yourself to prescription sunglasses!

There are many ways we can help you use your benefits:

  • Eye Examinations: Make sure every member of your family receives a thorough eye exam even if they don't currently wear glasses or contacts. Vision screenings at school and at the doctors office often miss visual problems that can affect their learning and school performance. Many health issues such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Glaucoma can be detected during an eye exam long before other symptoms appear.

  • Prescription Sunglasses: Most insurance plans and flexible savings accounts can be used for prescription sunglasses.

  • Back-up Glasses for Contact Lens Wearers: You never know when you might not be able to wear your contacts. Make sure you have a pair of eyeglasses in your most recent prescription. The latest styles that we offer might make you want to wear them just for fun!

  • Contact Lenses: Have you always wanted to try contact lenses? If you have flex dollars or vision benefits to use it may be the perfect time to try them.

  • Prescription Eyeglasses: Even if you already have a pair of eyeglasses in your current prescription you can use those flex dollars or vision benefits for a fun and different look.
