1. What happens if I don’t use my vision benefits?

Unused benefits usually expire at the end of the year—meaning you’ll lose coverage for exams, glasses, or contacts you’ve already paid for through premiums.

2. Can I use my FSA or HSA for eye care?

Yes! You can use your FSA or HSA funds on eligible expenses such as eye exams, prescription eyewear, and even certain treatments recommended by your doctor.

3. How do I know what my plan covers?

You can call your insurance provider or contact Southwest Eye Care , and our team can help you review your benefits and determine what’s included in your plan.

4. Can I use benefits for my kids’ eye exams?

Absolutely. Children’s vision can change quickly, and early exams help ensure they see clearly for school and sports.

5. What if I need cataract surgery or other treatments?

If you’ve been diagnosed with cataracts or another eye condition, using your benefits before year-end can help offset costs related to pre-surgical evaluations and ongoing care.
