Many people in the Coachella Valley are reviewing their finances and realizing that their Flexible Spending Account (FSA) dollars may expire soon. FSAs are a great way to save on healthcare expenses, and the good news is that eye care services are eligible expenses! Whether you’ve been experiencing vision changes, want to prevent future eye problems, or need ongoing management for an existing condition, your FSA can help you get the care you need without out-of-pocket stress. Using your FSA before it expires ensures you invest in both your vision and overall quality of life.
Here are some smart ways to use your FSA on eye care before the year ends:
1. Comprehensive Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are more than just checking your prescription—they are essential for detecting early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Your FSA can cover these thorough eye evaluations, which are critical for preserving long-term vision and overall eye health.
2. Cataract Evaluations and Surgery
If you’ve been noticing blurred vision, glare, or difficulty seeing at night, it may be time to consider a cataract evaluation. Your FSA funds can be applied toward consultations and treatments for cataracts, helping you regain clearer vision and improve your daily quality of life.
3. Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a silent disease that can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. At Shaaf Eye Center, we provide specialized glaucoma care, including diagnostic tests, monitoring, and treatment plans. Using your FSA now ensures you stay proactive about preserving your vision before the new year.
4. Dry Eye Treatment
Chronic dry eye can affect comfort, work productivity, and overall eye health. Shaaf Eye Center offers advanced treatments for dry eye syndrome, including prescription eye drops, in-office procedures, and individualized care plans. Your FSA can help cover these essential treatments, so you don’t have to wait for relief.
