Haven’t had your comprehensive eye exam in Newport this year? Now is an ideal time to book.
On January 1, most vision insurance plans reset, which means any unused benefits will not carry over. Booking your exam now ensures your eyes stay healthy while you get the most out of your insurance coverage.
Here are a few tips on how to maximize your vision benefits before the end of the year:
What your vision benefits cover
Vision insurance is designed to make quality eye care affordable, but many people miss out on the full range of benefits. Depending on your plan, you may have coverage for:
- 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 eyesight feels unchanged, annual eye exams are important. They allow your optometrist to catch early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration, as well as systemic health issues like diabetes.
Refresh your glasses and contacts
If new glasses or contact lenses have been on your mind, now is the perfect moment to act. Swap out old frames for something fresh, try contact lenses designed for all-day comfort, or explore lens upgrades to improve visual clarity and protect your eyes.
At Newport Eye Care, we carry a diverse selection of eyewear for the entire family, along with the latest lens technology to match your lifestyle, prescription, and style.
Don’t forget about flexible spending accounts
Flexible spending account (FSA) funds often expire at the end of the year. You can use FSA dollars for prescription glasses, sunglasses, contacts, and certain eye care products. Scheduling early ensures you get the eyewear and care you need before funds reset.
