As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the importance of eye care and ensure you’re making the most of your vision benefits. At Ideal EyeCare, serving the Omaha, NE, and Council Bluffs, IA areas, we want to remind you to take advantage of your Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), and vision plan before the year ends.
Why using your FSA matters
Flexible Spending Accounts are a great way to set aside pre-tax dollars for healthcare expenses, including eye care. However, unlike HSAs, FSAs usually have a “use it or lose it” policy. This means that any funds remaining in your account at the end of the year may be forfeited unless you have a grace period. December is the last chance to use these funds for essential eye care services, whether it’s an eye exam, new glasses, or contact lenses. Don’t let your hard-earned money go to waste!
HSA funds roll over but are still valuable
Health Savings Accounts offer a little more flexibility than FSAs as they allow you to roll over funds from year to year. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use them now. Using your HSA for eye care can help reduce your taxable income and give you the opportunity to invest in your eye health.
Maximizing your vision plan
Vision plans often reset at the end of the calendar year. This means you could lose out on covered services like eye exams, prescription glasses, or contact lenses if you don’t use them by December 31st. By scheduling an appointment with Ideal EyeCare, you can ensure you’re getting the most out of your insurance coverage. Our team is here to help you navigate your benefits and select the right services and products for your needs.

At Ideal EyeCare, we understand that the holiday season can be a busy time, but scheduling a comprehensive eye exam in Omaha, Nebraska or Council Bluffs, Iowa is a crucial step in maintaining your eye health.
