The year is slowly coming to an end, making it a great time to prioritize your eye health before the beginning of the new year. By using your remaining FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) funds, you can access eye health wellness assessments and more at Layton Visual Center.
Why Use Your FSA/HSA Funds for Vision Care?
If you have an FSA or HSA, this is the best time to use your funds to invest in your eye health. These funds tend to expire at the end of the year and by using them now, you'll avoid losing any unused benefits.
Here’s how these accounts can help:
Health Savings Accounts vs Flexible Spending Accounts
- FSA funds typically expire at the end of the year, whereas HSA funds roll over year after year. However, it’s still wise to use them now for your immediate vision needs.
- FSAs are recommended for short-term medical expenses, including vision care like exams, glasses, and lens enhancements. On the other hand, HSAs are great for long-term savings while also covering eligible expenses like assessments, eyewear, and treatments.
Both of these accounts offer tax-free advantages and reduce your out-of-pocket costs for eye care services.
What is an Eye Health Wellness Assessment?
An eye health wellness assessment takes a proactive approach to maintaining both your vision and your body’s well-being. Using advanced retinal imaging technology, it enables our eye doctors to detect critical conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, cataracts, and high blood pressure in their early stages.
By investing in this assessment, you’re taking a step toward preserving your vision and preventing potential health problems before they progress.
How to Spend Your FSA/HSA Funds Wisely
In addition to a comprehensive eye exam, here's how you can maximize your remaining FSA or HSA funds before the year ends:
- Prescription Glasses: Upgrade your current look or get a backup pair for work or travel.
- Lens Enhancements: Invest in anti-glare or blue light blocking lenses for improved visual comfort and functionality.
- Prescription Sunglasses: For people with vision problems who need UV protection, prescription sunglasses offer safety and clarity in one.
By using your FSA/HSA funds, you’re taking a step towards enhancing your overall quality of life.
