Why You Should Use Your Vision Insurance Benefits Before the Year Ends

Nov 1, 2025 | Vision Benefits

If you haven’t booked your comprehensive eye exam in King, now is the perfect time. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1, meaning unused benefits, such as coverage for eye exams, contact lenses, or new glasses, won’t carry over. Scheduling before the end of the year ensures your eyes stay healthy while you make the most of your plan. 

To maximize your vision benefits before the end of the year, follow these tips:   

What your vision benefits may include 

Vision insurance helps make eye care more affordable, but many people don’t realize all the benefits available. Depending on your plan, coverage may include: 

  • An annual comprehensive eye exam 
  • Allowances for frames or contact lenses 
  • Discounts on lens upgrades, such as anti-reflective coatings or blue light protection 

Annual eye exams are important even if your vision seems fine. They allow your optometrist to spot early eye conditions and track systemic health issues such as diabetes and high blood pressure. 

Update your eyewear before the year ends 

If you’ve been thinking about new glasses or contact lenses, why not use your remaining benefits? Update your look with a new pair of frames, switch to more comfortable contacts, or explore eyeglass lens enhancements to improve visual clarity. 

At Magnolia Eye Care, we carry a wide selection of stylish frames and the latest lens technology for the whole family. Our team ensures your eyewear fits comfortably and supports your vision needs. 

Don’t forget about flexible spending accounts 

If you have a flexible spending account (FSA), keep in mind that those funds often expire at the end of the year. FSA dollars can be applied toward prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and recommended eye care products. Scheduling now ensures you have time to use these funds before they reset.
