Smart Vision Care: Use Your FSA/HSA for Proactive Eye Health

Eye,Examination,By,An,Ophthalmologist

Time is running out to make the most of your remaining FSA/HSA benefits. These funds often expire at the end of the year, making this the ideal time to prioritize your vision and overall health at Ada Vision Center’s Downtown practice.

Whether it’s requesting an Eye Health Wellness Assessment to detect early signs of conditions or upgrading your eyewear to match your lifestyle, your FSA/HSA can help you prioritize proactive care.

Don’t Let Your FSA/HSA Benefits Go Unused

If you have Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds, we recommend that you make use of them now. These funds operate on an annual basis and a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy, meaning they likely expire at the end of the year.

FSA/HSA funds can cover expenses like:

  • Eye Health Wellness Assessments: This ensures your eyes are in top condition while gaining insight into your overall health.
  • Eyewear: You can use your funds to upgrade to high-quality frames, lenses, or even prescription sunglasses.
  • Lens Enhancements: Anti-glare coatings, blue light blocking lenses, UV protection and other options tailored to your vision needs.

Whether you need glasses for work, hobbies, or driving at night, FSA/HSA benefits can make your purchase easier on your wallet.

Why an Eye Health Wellness Assessment is a Smart Choice

Your eyes offer a glimpse into your overall health. By requesting an Eye Health Wellness Assessment, you’re taking a proactive step toward maintaining clear vision and catching potential health concerns early.

Using cutting-edge retinal imaging, this tool allows us to detect subtle signs of conditions such as:

  • Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication linked to diabetes that can cause vision loss.
  • Glaucoma: Often called "the silent thief of sight" because of its lack of early symptoms. An Eye Health Wellness Assessment is the only way to spot it before your vision is affected.
  • Hypertension: High blood pressure can leave telltale signs in the blood vessels of your eyes. Early detection allows you to get help before your health is impacted, preserving your eye and cardiovascular health.
  • Macular Degeneration: This is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. An optometrist can identify it in its initial stages before your vision deteriorates.

By identifying these issues early, we’re able to recommend treatments or lifestyle adjustments that could save your sight — and even your life.
