Now that it’s almost 2011 (less than 2 days to go),  I thought I would remind everyone that eOptics.com is able to accept health and benefits cards for HSA, FSA and Flex dollars, when you’re purchasing prescription eye glasses or sun glasses. We always include itemized receipts, so, even if you don’t have a “bennie” card, you can submit the receipt to your HSA or FSA provider, and they will reimburse you.

I wanted to take some time today to remind everyone out there that eOptics.com is able to accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) money for prescription products. This includes eyeglasses and sunglasses. The great thing about both HSA’s and FSA’s is that the money comes out of your paychecks is pretax dollars, therefore you end up with more of it to spend. As it sounds, this money is really for medical payments, such as doctor’s visits, medical prescriptions, reading glasses and eyeglasses! As long as the eyeglasses have your prescription in them, they are eligible for HSA and FSA payments. Of course, sunglasses are also on the list, as long as they are prescription.

The money you save ends up being quite significant (up to 25% in some cases), and really helps out when you’re looking at larger out of pocket expenses. You can also use this for your dependents, as well. It really allows you to buy what you want and need, not just what will get you by. I am a huge fan of these types of accounts, because it forces you to save the money for medical expenses.

The one thing you really need to remember, though, is that most of these plans expire at the end of each year. This means, if you haven’t used the money in the account, you can’t get it back. They often don’t carry over from year to year, so make sure to spend your money before you lose it!
