You can purchase eye glasses and contact lenses with your FSA with a medical prescription. Update your look with a new pair of eyewear from Dr. Tavel Family Eye Care. Also included are reading glasses, so grab a pair of those too.

Some eye care accessories are even included. Contact lens solutions, contact lens cases, eye glass cases and eye glass cleaning supplies are among the covered items.

The weather outside may be frightful, but your eyes still need sun protection. Use your FSA to get a pair of prescription sunglasses.

FSA coverage can vary, so be sure to review the list of eligible expenses with your provider. Don’t let time run out…remember: use-it-or-lose-it!
