As the end of the year approaches, many people are busy with holiday plans and year-end tasks. However, maximizing your vision insurance benefits before they expire is also critical. At Clarity Optometry in Hamilton, we want to help you take advantage of your coverage while maintaining eye health.
Most vision insurance plans operate on a calendar-year basis, meaning your benefits reset on January 1. Any unused benefits, such as allowances for glasses, contact lenses, or annual eye exams, typically don’t roll over into the new year. This means if you haven’t scheduled your annual exam or upgraded your eyewear, now is the perfect time to do so!
Why Use Your Benefits Now?
- Preventative Care: Annual eye exams update your prescription and detect potential issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic eye disease early.
- Savings: If you’ve been considering a new pair of glasses or transitioning to contact lenses, your insurance benefits can significantly offset these costs.
- No Carry-Over: Unused benefits often expire at the end of the year, resulting in lost value for you and your family.
Additionally, flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs) tied to your insurance may also expire at year-end. These funds can often be used for vision-related expenses, from prescription sunglasses to specialty lenses.
