Vision Insurance: Use It or Lose It

Vision insurance is a relatively simple yet valuable benefit. With it, you can preserve your eye health and wellness. More than 75 percent of U.S. residents between age 25 and 64 require some sort of vision correction. Most basic vision insurance plans offer an allowance for annual eye and vision exams, contact lens and eye glass frames. Some even cover Lasik procedures done by an eye doctor in the designated network. It’s important to note that vision insurance benefits expire on the last day of the year. If you don’t use them by the end of the year, you forfeit them. That’s why it’s common to hear, “Use it or Lose It.” If your medical insurance deductibles have been met or you haven’t used your vision care plan benefits, it’s good time to visit the eye doctor. Use any remaining account dollars in your accounts for eye exams, medical eye care, prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.
