As we approach the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to schedule a comprehensive eye exam for your child. Vision benefits through FSAs or HSAs often expire on December 31st, making now an ideal opportunity to update prescriptions and prepare for the new year. If your child hasn’t yet had an eye exam in 2024, call Oakbrook Optometry to schedule their comprehensive eye exam.
Why Eye Exams for Kids Matter
Children’s vision changes rapidly as they grow, and undetected issues can impact their school performance and overall well-being. For instance, a child with undiagnosed nearsightedness may struggle to see the board in class, leading to academic difficulties and potential self-esteem issues.
A comprehensive eye exam updates their prescription and screens for common issues like lazy eye or astigmatism. Early detection ensures your child has the tools to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Benefits of Using FSAs/HSAs
Many families aren’t aware that FSA and HSA funds can be used for routine eye care. Eligible expenses often include:
- Eye exams
- Eyeglasses and contact lenses
- Accessories like lens cleaning kits or protective cases
Don’t Forget New Eyewear
If your child’s prescription has changed or if they need a backup pair, consider refreshing their eyewear with a variety of exciting options. From prescription sunglasses for outdoor activities to blue-light-blocking glasses for screen time, or even backup pairs for peace of mind, there's a world of eyewear to explore.
Plus, your benefits cover these essential items, ensuring your child has everything they need to see clearly.
