How To Use Your FSA
Or HSA On Glasses,
Sunglasses, And
Contacts
It’s easy to apply your FSA or HSA dollars to prescription eyewear and contacts!
You can use your flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) to buy prescription glasses, contacts, and sunglasses on Eyeconic.
But hurry, your funds might expire soon.
Two ways to pay:
- Use your FSA or HSA card at checkout.
- Submit a receipt to your FSA or HSA provider to get reimbursed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FSA/HSA and how do I know if I have one?
FSA (flexible spending account) and HSA (health savings account) are programs that allow you to set aside money before taxes for specific health care expenses. Best of all, you can use your FSA and HSA funds to buy prescription eyewear and contacts directly on Eyeconic.
Not sure if you have an FSA or HSA? Just ask your employer or insurance company.
What can I purchase with my FSA or HSA?
Your flexible spending account or health savings account covers vision care costs including:
- Prescription eyeglasses
- Prescription sunglasses
- Prescription contact lenses
- Eye doctor visits
- Reading glasses
Can I buy non-prescription sunglasses with FSA or HSA funds?
No, only prescription sunglasses can be purchased with FSA or HSA dollars.
When are my FSA/HSA dollars available?
FSA/HSA allowances are usually available at the start of your coverage period (typically January 1st).
When do my FSA dollars expire?
Depending on your employer, FSA funds may expire at the end of a set period, often the end of the year. Some employers allow you to carry over a portion of your FSA funds, but many people face a “use-it-or-lose-it” situation where any money not spent by the end of the period is lost.
Maximize your benefits by using your funds before they expire! (Hint, hint: you can shop on Eyeconic with your FSA and HSA funds).
Do HSA dollars expire?
No, HSA funds roll over in full year-after-year.
