Could Your FSA Cover Life-Changing LASIK and Other Vision Treatments?

Are you aware that your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) could be the key to unlocking life-changing vision treatments, like LASIK? Many people don’t realize that FSA dollars can be used toward a variety of eye care procedures, allowing you to invest in better vision while also saving on taxes. Whether you’re tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses or want to address other vision concerns, your FSA could help cover the costs. Let’s explore how you can maximize this benefit for your eye health before the end of the year!

What Is an FSA and How Does It Work?

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged financial account that allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for medical expenses throughout the year. Eligible expenses include eye care treatments such as LASIK, cataract surgery, glaucoma management, dry eye treatments, and more.  

FSAs are typically “use it or lose it,” meaning that any funds not spent by the end of the year will be forfeited. The month of September is an excellent time to use your FSA funds wisely, ensuring you don’t rush at the last minute and miss out on the benefits. You’ve been saving all year for your health, so why not invest in your eye care now?
