Annual eye exams are a recommended cornerstone for ensuring the health of your eyes. In addition to checking for changes in your vision and updating your prescription, your doctor will also look at your overall eye health, internally and externally.

You should never be kept in the dark about the health of your eyes and your vision. Yearly eye exams may last up to an hour or more depending on your individual needs and usually involve a variety of tests to make sure everything is looking great.

2023 is nearly here—and while the calendar is filling up with holiday fun for the whole family, don't forget to use your vision benefits before time runs out. Many vision plans do not roll over into the next year, so if you don't use your benefits you may end up losing them. With that in mind, now is the perfect time for a comprehensive eye exam and ensures you're utilizing your family vision insurance. Your insurance plan may cover eye exams, as well as prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses. You may save even more if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)—these can be used on eyecare accessories, too. Give your family a confident start to the new year knowing that they have cared for their eyes. And, while you're at it, make a resolution to not take your eyes for granted. The gift of sight allows you to see our community and the world around you—but it's a gift that needs to be taken care of regularly. Make vision for your family a priority this upcoming year and begin by booking eye exams using your vision benefits before the end of 2022. For your convenience, you can now schedule your eye exams online. Please consult your individual Vision Plan for coverage details.
