The end of the year is approaching quickly, and with the holiday season, school events, and busy schedules, it’s easy to overlook one crucial detail: your 2025 vision benefits expire on December 31st. At Fusion Eye Care, we want to make sure you get the full value of the coverage you’ve already paid for, whether that’s through your vision insurance plan, FSA, or HSA.
Every year, patients leave money on the table simply because they forget to schedule their eye exam or use their allowances before the deadline. This is your reminder: use it or lose it. Your benefits reset soon, and once they do, any unused coverage is gone.
Here’s how you can take advantage of your 2025 benefits before they expire.
Most Vision Benefits Don’t Roll Over
Many people assume that unused vision benefits will automatically carry over into the next year. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. With most insurance plans:
- Routine eye exam benefits
- Lens and frame allowances
- Contact lens allowances
- FSA dollars
- HSA funds (depending on your plan)
All expire on December 31, 2025.
That means if you don’t use your vision benefits before the end of the year, they disappear. Since you’re already paying for them, December is the perfect time to put those dollars to good use.
What Your Vision Benefits Can Be Used for at Fusion Eye Care
Fusion Eye Care offers a range of services eligible for vision insurance and FSA/HSA funds. Whether it’s a yearly checkup or something more specialized, you have options to maximize your benefits.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
If you haven’t had a routine eye exam this year, now is the time. Eye exams allow us to update your prescription and check for early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration. Regular exams are essential for children, adults, and seniors alike.
Prescription Glasses
Whether you need a backup pair, updated lenses, or a fresh new look, your benefits help cover the cost of frames and prescription lenses. Fusion Eye Care offers a wide range of stylish, durable frames for every personality and budget.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription sunglasses are one of the best ways to use remaining insurance benefits. They protect your eyes from UV damage and help you see clearly outdoors, ideal for driving, sports, and everyday wear.
Contact Lenses
Your benefits may cover:
- Disposable soft contact lenses
- Toric lenses for astigmatism
- Multifocal contacts
- Specialty lenses
If you wear contacts regularly, now is the perfect time to stock up before benefits reset.
Specialty Contact Lenses (Scleral, RGP, Ortho-K)
Fusion Eye Care is known for advanced specialty lens fittings, including:
- Scleral lenses for keratoconus, dry eye, and irregular corneas
- Rigid gas-permeable lenses
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K/CRT) for overnight myopia correction
FSA/HSA dollars can sometimes, but not always, be applied toward specialty fittings and lenses - a smart end-of-year investment for comfort and long-term vision improvement.
Dry Eye Treatment & Medical Eye Care
If you’ve been putting off dry eye treatment or need monitoring for conditions like diabetes or glaucoma, this is a great time to schedule a visit. Medical eye care may qualify for HSA/FSA funds.
