If you haven’t scheduled a comprehensive eye exam in Sioux Falls this year, now is the perfect time. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1, which means unused benefits will not roll over. Scheduling now ensures your eyes stay healthy, your vision stays clear, and your benefits don’t go to waste. 

Here’s how you can get the most from your vision benefits before the year ends: 

Use your annual vision benefits 

Vision insurance is designed to help make routine eye care more affordable, yet many people don’t use all their benefits. Depending on your plan, coverage may include: 

• A yearly comprehensive eye exam 
• Allowances for frames or contact lenses 
• Discounts on lens upgrades, including anti-reflective coatings or blue light protection 

Even when your vision seems stable, annual eye exams play a crucial role in protecting your eye health. Our optometrists can identify early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. 

These exams can also reveal indicators of more than 270 chronic health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.¹ 

Refresh your eyewear before the year ends 

Do you need new glasses or contacts? With the year wrapping up, it’s a great opportunity to refresh your eyewear. Pick a frame that reflects your style, switch to contacts that feel more comfortable all day, or try upgraded eyeglass lenses that boost clarity and ease eye strain. 

At The Eye Doctors P.C., we offer a wide selection of eyewear for all ages, from kids’ glasses to designer options for adults. You can use our virtual try-on tools to see how frames look before you buy. Our team makes sure your eyewear suits your prescription, lifestyle, and style. 

Make the most of flexible spending accounts 

If you have a flexible spending account (FSA), don’t forget that funds often expire at year-end. You can use your FSA for prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and recommended eye care products. Booking your appointment now ensures you have time to apply these funds before they reset.
