As the year comes to a close, using your remaining Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds on an eye health assessment is a smart way to prioritize your vision. An eye health wellness assessment is an important tool in preserving your sight, and it offers much more than a standard eye exam.
How is an Eye Health Wellness Assessment Different?
A standard eye exam checks your visual acuity and ensures your prescription for glasses or contact lenses is up-to-date. While this is essential for day-to-day vision, an eye health wellness assessment is a deeper evaluation of your eye health.
We use a combination of state-of-the-art technology and expertise to evaluate the overall health of your eyes, identify early signs of potential issues, and assess your risk for a variety of vision-related conditions.
Here’s what sets an eye health wellness assessment apart:
- Comprehensive Retinal Imaging: Unlike a routine eye exam, an eye health wellness assessment involves detailed retinal imaging. This advanced diagnostic tool allows us to examine the back of your eyes to detect any changes that may indicate the early stages of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
- Evaluation of Eye Structure and Function: We evaluate the structural health of your eyes, including the optic nerve and blood vessels. By identifying abnormalities in these areas, we can diagnose and manage conditions before they impact your vision.
- Detecting Systemic Health Issues: Certain systemic health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, can show early signs in your eyes. An eye health wellness assessment can reveal changes in the blood vessels that may indicate underlying health issues, allowing for timely intervention and management.

Use Your FSA/HSA Funds before they Expire
With the year quickly coming to an end, it’s time to make sure you’re making the most of your FSA or HSA funds. These benefits often have a “use-it-or-lose-it” clause, meaning that unspent funds may expire at year-end.
By investing in an eye health wellness assessment, you’re taking a proactive step to protect your vision while maximizing your health benefits.
