If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), now is the perfect time to prioritize your eye health. These accounts let you set aside pre-tax dollars to cover eligible healthcare expenses—including eye care.
However, FSA funds often expire at the end of the year, and unused amounts are typically forfeited. At Everett Optometry Clinic, we’re here to help you maximize your remaining balance by investing in proactive eye care and premium eyewear.
Why Choose an Eye Health Wellness Assessment?
Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment offers an advanced, proactive approach to vision care. Using state-of-the-art retinal imaging, this comprehensive assessment can detect early signs of both eye and systemic health conditions, including:
- Glaucoma: A condition that can lead to vision loss if not caught early.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that can cause significant eye damage.
- Macular Degeneration: A leading cause of vision problems in older adults.
- Hypertension: High blood pressure may first show signs in the eyes, offering insights into cardiovascular health.
What Are FSA and HSA Accounts?
If you’re unfamiliar with these accounts, here’s a quick explanation:
FSA (Flexible Spending Account): A benefit often provided by employers, FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax money for qualifying healthcare expenses, including eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses. These funds usually must be spent by the end of the year.
HSA (Health Savings Account): Available to individuals with high-deductible health plans, HSAs offer a similar way to save pre-tax money for healthcare expenses. Unlike FSAs, unused HSA funds roll over from year to year, making them more flexible for long-term savings.
How to Use Your FSA/HSA Funds
If you still have FSA/HSA funds available, here are some great ways to put them to use before the year ends:
- Eye Health Wellness Assessment: Prioritize your eye health with this thorough evaluation.
- Prescription Glasses or Sunglasses: Upgrade your frames or lenses for improved style and functionality.
- Specialty Lenses: Invest in options like anti-glare coatings, blue light filters, or progressive lenses tailored to your lifestyle.
- Contact Lenses: Stock up on your favorite lenses or explore new possibilities.
