As the year comes to an end, many people don’t realize that their vision insurance benefits might expire if not used. If you’ve been putting off that eye exam or need to update your glasses, now is the perfect time to take advantage of your benefits at The Eye Center. After all, your eye health is important, and using your benefits now can save you money in the long run.
Why It’s Important to Use Your Vision Benefits
Unlike medical insurance, vision insurance benefits often cover routine eye care such as annual eye exams, prescription glasses, and contact lenses. However, these benefits typically don’t roll over into the following year, meaning if you don’t use them, you lose them. It’s a classic case of “use it or lose it,” and it’s something you don’t want to overlook.
At The Eye Center, we understand the value of your vision benefits and are here to help you make the most of them before they expire. Whether it’s time for a comprehensive eye exam or you’re looking to upgrade your eyewear, we’ve got you covered.
What’s the Difference Between Vision and Medical Insurance?
It’s important to understand that vision and medical insurance are different. Vision insurance primarily covers routine eye care such as:
Annual Eye Exams: Regular check-ups are crucial for maintaining good eye health and ensuring that your eye doctor promptly addresses any vision changes
Prescription Glasses and Contact Lenses: If you need new glasses or contacts, your vision insurance will typically cover part or all of the cost
Specialized Eyewear: Prescription sunglasses and lenses for specific needs, such as computer glasses, may also be covered
On the other hand, medical insurance covers eye-related medical conditions like injuries or diseases. For example, if you need treatment for glaucoma, cataracts, or an eye infection, your medical insurance would typically handle those expenses.
