As the clock ticks closer to December 31st, now is the time to look hard at your vision insurance benefits. Many patients don’t realize these benefits typically expire at the end of the year, leaving unused coverage behind. At Castledowns Vision Centre, we want to ensure you get the care you’ve paid for—here’s why it’s so important to act now:
- Maximize Your Coverage: Vision insurance often includes annual benefits for eye exams, prescription glasses, or contact lenses. If you don’t use them by the end of the year, they disappear, and you’ll have to wait until your plan resets.
- Stay Healthy: Regular eye exams aren’t just for updating your prescription. They’re essential for catching early warning signs of eye diseases like cataracts or retinal issues. Eye exams can even help detect systemic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Avoid Stressful Scheduling: As the year winds down, appointment slots fill quickly. Don’t risk missing out on an exam or eyewear upgrade because you waited too long.
- Save Money with FSAs and HSAs: If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, now is the time to use those funds. Many vision-related expenses qualify, but unused funds often expire on December 31st.
- Start the New Year Fresh: Clear vision is a gift you deserve to give yourself. Upgrading your glasses or contacts can improve your confidence and ensure you see your best in 2024.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to take advantage of what your insurance plan offers. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a style upgrade for your glasses, we’re here to help you maximize your benefits.
