If you haven’t scheduled your comprehensive eye exam in Pensacola, now is the ideal time. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1, which means unused benefits, like coverage for eye exams, new glasses, or contact lenses, won’t carry over. Taking advantage of your remaining benefits ensures you receive the care you’ve already paid for while keeping your eyes healthy and your vision clear.
Here are a few tips for maximizing your vision benefits before the end of the year:
Make the most of your annual vision benefits
Vision insurance is designed to make eye care more affordable, but many people overlook what’s included. Depending on your plan, your coverage may include:
- An annual comprehensive eye exam
- Allowances for frames or contact lenses
- Discounts on lens upgrades, such as anti-reflective coatings or blue light protection
Even if your prescription hasn’t changed, yearly eye exams are still essential. They allow your optometrist to detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration, and monitor overall health factors such as diabetes and hypertension.
Use your benefits for updated eyewear
If you’ve been thinking about getting new glasses or contact lenses, now is the time to use your remaining benefits. Refresh your look with a new pair of frames, upgrade to more comfortable contacts, or explore lens enhancements to improve visual clarity.
At Dr. C. Vision Care, we carry a wide selection of designer frames and the latest eyeglass lenses to fit your lifestyle, prescription, and budget. Our team ensures you leave with eyewear that looks great and feels comfortable.
Don’t forget about flexible spending accounts
If you have a flexible spending account (FSA), remember that those funds usually expire at the end of the year. FSA dollars can be used for prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and even certain eye care products recommended by your optometrist. Scheduling now ensures you have time to use these funds before they reset.
