Time is Running Out to Use your Insurance Benefits

Have you made your annual eye exam appointment yet? If you’ve made the wise decision to protect yourself with vision insurance, please be aware that it will reset at the end of the year. Marano Eye Care explains how to take advantage of your vision insurance, why you should consider a Flexible Spending Account, and how to plan for your eye care needs in 2018.

Take Advantage of Your Annual Vision Insurance

Vision plans provide patients with a complete eye exam each year. This ensures that any serious eye conditions, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma, are caught before they worsen. A complete eye exam acts as a detection system for high blood pressure, stroke risk, and diabetes. Also, remember many insurance plans have an annual deductible that will restart at the beginning of each year. Most patients have hit their deductible by this point so make sure to take advantage and fill your prescriptions.
