As the end of the year approaches, many people are left wondering how to use their remaining Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds.
These benefits can be a game-changer for your health, and at Dean Optical, we believe there’s no better way to spend them than on your vision.
With options ranging from advanced eye exams to personalized eyewear, using your FSA/HSA funds means taking proactive steps to protect your vision and overall health.
How FSA/HSA Funds Can Improve Your Eye Health
Eye health often gets overlooked in the rush of year-end healthcare spending, but your eyes can reveal much more than you might think. Investing in a comprehensive eye exam can help detect hidden issues, including:
- Glaucoma: Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma progresses without symptoms and can lead to permanent vision loss.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that damages blood vessels in the retina and can result in vision impairment.
- Macular Degeneration: A leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting central vision.
- Hypertension Indicators: The retina often reveals early signs of high blood pressure, connecting your eye health to overall wellness.
Dean Optical uses advanced retinal imaging technology to detect these and other conditions, providing the clarity and care you need to maintain healthy vision.
The Role of Personalized Eyewear in Eye Health
If you’ve been eyeing (pun intended) a new pair of glasses or prescription sunglasses, now is the perfect time to invest. Your FSA/HSA funds can be used toward a variety of eyewear options:
- Stylish Frames: Treat yourself to a fresh look with frames that combine comfort, style, and functionality.
- Prescription Sunglasses: Shield your eyes from harmful UV rays while keeping your vision sharp.
- Specialized Lenses: From blue-light blocking to progressive lenses, our opticians can help you choose lenses that fit your needs and lifestyle.
We believe eyewear isn’t just a tool—it’s a reflection of your personality and a key part of your daily life.
