If you’ve been putting off updating your glasses or trying out contact lenses, now is the perfect time to take action—especially if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). FSAs are an incredible benefit offered by many employers, allowing you to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses, including prescription glasses and contact lenses.
Here’s everything you need to know about using your FSA at La Bleu Optique:
What Is Flexible Spending?
Flexible Spending Accounts are designed to help employees save money on medical expenses by setting aside funds before taxes. These funds can be used for a range of healthcare needs, from medication and copays to vision care, including eyewear. Since FSAs are funded with pre-tax dollars, they can save you a significant amount on essential health costs.
Use It or Lose It
One important thing to remember: FSAs often have a “use-it-or-lose-it” rule, meaning that any unused funds at the end of the year typically do not roll over to the next. That makes now the ideal time to ensure you’re putting those dollars to good use—before they disappear!
What Can You Spend Your FSA On?
At La Bleu Optique, we make it easy for you to maximize your FSA benefits. Funds can be used for:
-
Prescription Glasses: Update your look or get a second pair for added convenience.
-
Contact Lenses: Stock up on your favorite brand of lenses or try them for the first time.
-
Lens Enhancements: Anti-glare coatings, blue-light protection, and transition lenses are all eligible.
