As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to take full advantage of your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) dollars. If you’re an individual with cataracts, refractive errors, dry eye, oculoplastic concerns, or glaucoma, now is the ideal opportunity to prioritize your eye health while utilizing your FSA benefits.
What is an FSA?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged financial account that allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical expenses, including eye care treatments. One important detail to remember about FSA funds is that they typically expire at the end of the year. This means if you don’t use your allocated funds, you may lose them. That’s why it’s crucial to schedule your eye care treatments now, so you can make the most of your hard-earned dollars.
At Pendleton Eye Center, several of our advanced eye care treatments are eligible for FSA coverage.
Here’s a brief overview of the procedures that could enhance your vision and protect your eye health:
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts can cloud your vision, but with state-of-the-art cataract surgery, we can restore clarity. Using advanced lens options like multifocal or toric lenses, our skilled ophthalmologists will help improve your vision and enhance your quality of life. Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure that qualifies for FSA reimbursement.
Refractive Errors
If you’re tired of glasses or contact lenses, correcting refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism with eye surgery is a life-changing solution. Procedures like lens implants are FSA-eligible, helping you achieve clearer vision without the constant need for corrective eyewear.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye syndrome can cause discomfort and irritation, but we offer several treatments, such as Punctal Plugs, prescription drops, or even Meibomian Gland Therapy. These effective therapies can alleviate symptoms, improving your eye health. FSA funds can cover many of these treatments, so you can find relief sooner rather than later.
Glaucoma Management
Managing glaucoma early is key to preserving vision. At Pendleton Eye Center, we offer cutting-edge treatments like laser therapy, medications, and minimally invasive surgeries to control intraocular pressure and protect your sight. Glaucoma care is FSA-eligible, making it easier to manage the condition without financial worry.
Oculoplastic Procedures
Whether you need medical or cosmetic eyelid surgery, our oculoplastic specialists can address issues like droopy eyelids, eyelid malpositions, or excess skin. These procedures can restore both function and appearance, and many are eligible for FSA reimbursement.
Now is the time to take action! Don’t let your FSA dollars go unused—schedule your eye care treatment before the end of the year to make the most of your benefits. Whether you need cataract surgery, relief from dry eyes, or treatment for glaucoma, Pendleton Eye Center is here to provide top-quality care.
