As the year winds down, families across Lantana are planning for the holidays, finishing school terms, and wrapping up end-of-year tasks. But one critical item often overlooked? Using your vision insurance benefits before they expire.
At Eyecare Professionals, we want to make sure you don’t leave valuable benefits behind. Most vision plans reset on January 1st, and unused coverage doesn’t carry over—meaning if you don’t use it, you lose it.
Why Vision Insurance Benefits Expire
Most vision insurance plans provide annual benefits that must be used by December 31st. These often include:
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Allowance toward glasses or contact lenses
- Lens upgrades and add-ons, like blue light protection or anti-reflective coatings
- Contact lens fittings and follow-up care
If you haven’t used these yet, now is the time to act before your benefits vanish.

Annual Eye Exams Are Essential for the Whole Family
Regular eye exams are a key part of maintaining long-term vision health. They’re not just for updating your prescription—comprehensive eye exams can also detect early signs of serious health issues like:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Diabetic eye disease
- High blood pressure and cholesterol
Our optometrists can also identify early vision changes and provide guidance to keep your eyes healthy.
Children also need annual pediatric eye exams to ensure their vision supports learning, reading, and development. Seeing an eye doctor regularly helps catch issues before they affect school performance.
Use Your Eyewear Allowance Before It’s Gone
Have you used your yearly allowance toward glasses or contact lenses? If not, it’s time to explore your options. We offer a wide selection of:
- Designer frames for adults and teens
- Kids’ eyewear designed for durability and comfort
- Prescription sunglasses for outdoor protection
You may also be eligible for specialty lens features or upgrades. Let our team help you choose the best eyewear for your needs—before your benefits expire.
Don’t Let Your FSA Dollars Go Unused
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), your funds likely expire at the end of the year. These pre-tax dollars can be used for a wide range of eligible expenses, including:
- Prescription eyewear
- Contact lenses and cleaning supplies
- Dry eye products and treatments
- Out-of-pocket vision care services
Many patients also use FSA dollars to manage ongoing dry eye symptoms. Need assistance navigating FSA purchases? Our insurance and benefits team can help you make informed decisions.
