Making the Most of Your Vision Benefits
Vision plans often include an allowance for frames, lenses, or contact lenses, along with coverage for a routine eye exam. Our team helps you understand frame allowances, lens upgrade costs, and copays so there are no surprises. Many plans help cover upgrades like progressive lenses and anti-reflective coatings; learn more on our lens options page. If your plan includes a contact lens allowance, we can help you choose the best way to use it.
Medical Eye Care Coverage
Some visits, such as diabetic eye exams, glaucoma screenings, and evaluations for dry eye, may be billed to your medical insurance instead of your vision plan. Call us before your visit and we’ll help you understand how your coverage applies.
Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts
FSA and HSA funds can generally be used for eye exams, prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses. Using your remaining FSA balance before the end of your plan year is a great way to get a backup pair or upgrade to premium lenses.
New Patients Welcome
We’re welcoming new patients at our Canton, Brockton, and East Bridgewater offices. Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, your current glasses or contacts, and a list of medications to your first appointment. Families can also ask about coverage for children’s eyeglasses.
