If you haven’t had a comprehensive eye exam in Memphis or Arlington this year, now is an excellent time to book one. Vision insurance plans typically reset on January 1, so unused benefits, such as eye exams, new glasses, or contact lenses, will not carry over. Using your benefits before they expire ensures your eyes stay healthy and your vision clear while getting the most value from your plan.
Here are some ways to maximize your vision benefits before year-end:
Use your annual vision benefits
Vision insurance is designed to help make routine eye care more affordable, yet many people don’t use all their benefits. Depending on your plan, coverage may include:
- A yearly comprehensive eye exam
- Allowances for frames or contact lenses
- Discounts on lens upgrades, including anti-reflective coatings or blue light protection
Even if your prescription hasn’t changed, annual exams remain essential. They help our optometrist spot early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease.
Eye doctors can also detect signs of 270 chronic diseases and conditions, including diabetes and heart disease.¹
Update your eyewear before the year ends
Have you been thinking about getting new glasses or contact lenses? Year-end is the perfect time to refresh your look. Explore modern frames, more comfortable contacts, or advanced eyeglass lenses to enhance clarity and reduce eye strain.
At Primary Eye Care of Arlington and South Main, we offer a wide selection of eyewear for all ages, from stylish children’s frames to adult designer options. Our team ensures your eyewear meets your prescription, lifestyle, and personal taste.
Don’t forget flexible spending accounts
Flexible spending account (FSA) funds often expire at the end of the year. You can use them for prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and select eye care products recommended by your optometrist. Booking your appointment now gives you time to apply your remaining funds before they reset.
