Be ready to look your best this holiday season: Use your vision insurance to save on eyewear

Using your vision insurance benefits in early December can be a good idea for several reasons:

1. Yearly Coverage Reset:
Many vision insurance plans operate on a calendar year basis, resetting your benefits at the beginning of each year. If you haven't used your benefits earlier in the year, you might lose any unused benefits when the new year starts. By scheduling your eye exams, purchasing glasses or contact lenses, or getting other vision-related services in November, you can make the most of your insurance benefits before they expire.

2. Preventive Care:
Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good eye health and catching any vision problems early. Vision insurance often covers these routine check-ups, allowing you to maintain optimal eye health and address any issues before they become more severe.

3. Cost Savings:
Vision insurance can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for services like eye exams, prescription eyewear, and contact lenses.

4. Holiday Season Readiness:
With the holiday season approaching, many people want to look their best and be prepared for gatherings, parties, and events. Using your vision insurance benefits in November allows you to update your prescription, get new, stylish glasses to show off or contacts, and ensure you have clear vision for all the festive activities.

5. Flexibility in Scheduling:
November is usually the quieter month in a optical. Scheduling an eye exam and ordering eyewear can sometimes take time. By planning ahead and using your vision benefits in November, you have the flexibility to choose appointment times that work for you and avoid the rush that may occur in December as others try to use their benefits before they expire.

6. Personalized service:
You can get personalized and one-on-one service and eyewear consultation in November. You can browse their entire new collection and try on multiple pairs of glasses without feeling rushed.    

Remember to check the details of your specific vision insurance plan, including any deadlines or restrictions on benefit usage, so you can make the most of your coverage. It's also a good idea to consult with your eye care provider to understand the best way to maximize your benefits while addressing your vision needs.
