If you haven’t booked a comprehensive eye exam in Spokane Valley this year, now is the time to do so. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1, which means any unused benefits, such as coverage for eye exams, contact lenses, or new glasses, won’t carry over. Scheduling your exam before the end of the year ensures your eyes stay healthy while you get the full value of your insurance plan.
You can maximize your vision benefits before the year ends by following these tips:
Understanding your vision plan benefits
Vision insurance helps make eye care more affordable, but many people don’t take full advantage of all the benefits. Depending on your plan, 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, annual eye exams remain essential. They allow your optometrist to spot early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration and even systemic health issues like diabetes.
Refresh your eyewear before the year ends
Do you need new glasses or contact lenses? The end of the year is the perfect time to update your eyewear. Whether it’s a new style, more comfortable contacts, or eyeglass lens enhancements to improve clarity and reduce eye strain, your vision insurance can help cover the cost.
At EyeQ Optical, we offer a wide selection of eyewear for the whole family, combining style, quality, and prescription accuracy. Our team ensures your new glasses fit comfortably and support your vision needs.
Don’t forget 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 applied toward prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and certain eye care products recommended by your optometrist. Booking now gives you plenty of time to use your funds before they reset.
