Don’t Let Your Benefits Go to Waste — Let Bristol Family Eyecare Help!
We don’t want your benefits to go to waste when they could help you get a comprehensive eye exam or new eyewear instead. This guide will walk you through the basics of these resources, and how they can be used on your vision!
Insurance Benefits Are Limited-Time
Vision insurance is a specialty type of insurance that’s distinct from, and covers things not included in, most healthcare plans. The key difference is that while health insurance normally deals with healthcare expenses for existing issues, such as an eye disease, vision insurance offers discounts on preventative or routine services — eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, and more.
Many vision insurance plans include a free or discounted comprehensive eye exam once per year, and also offer discounts or co-payments for eyewear. But importantly, you can’t save up those benefits: they expire January 1st!

FSA & HSA Funds Can Expire
Many people have access to a flexible spending account (FSA) or a health savings account (HSA), which allow you to save funds for medical costs — tax-free. The idea is that you set aside money, often directly from your paycheck, to later spend on qualified medical expenses.
Both accounts are funded with pre-tax money, and both can be used tax-free on a variety of health care, including eye exams and eyewear. The main difference between FSAs and HSAs, however, is that while many HSA plans’ funds rollover to the next year, FSA funds almost always expire at the end of the year!
