Many people have healthcare plans that give them an allotted amount of money that they can use for eyewear and vision per year. This amount doesn’t usually roll over, so if you really want to get the most out of your benefits, you should try to use your full amount each year. Don’t be afraid – you are entitled to that money! In this article, we’ll give you tips on how you can use up your eyewear and vision coverage so you don’t miss out.
Buy a Backup Pair
Many of us also wear glasses and we know the panic that can come from breaking your only pair. Especially if you have a strong prescription, being without your glasses can bring your life to a screeching halt. Instead, investing in a backup pair can ensure you are prepared for anything. After all, two pairs are better than one! Use your eyewear coverage and take advantage of our everyday 2-for-1 offer.
Upgrade to Better Quality Frames
If you have the leeway to buy higher-quality frames, you should absolutely take that opportunity. Higher-quality frames from a designer brand will be more durable, so they last longer. They also look quite fashionable, making you the envy of your workplace!
Treat Yourself to Prescription Sunglasses
Now that working from home has become much more common, you can take your work outside. Wearing prescription sunglasses while you work, or do anything else, outside can help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, preserving your vision for the long term. Plus, they make you look cool!
Blue Light Filters and Other Upgrades for Your Lenses
Lens coatings and filters can make your life much more comfortable. You can choose from a wide range of upgrades such as:
Blue light filters – these can reduce eye strain by filtering out blue light from computer or phone screens.
Anti-reflective coating – anti-reflective coating blocks glare and reflections from things such as overhead lights or camera flashes, making it easier to see your eyes. It can also assist in nighttime driving as it blocks headlight glare from oncoming traffic.
Anti-fog coating – if you’re tired of your glasses fogging up all the time, anti-fog treatments are your friend.
Photochromic lenses – these lenses react to UV light and can darken when you’re outside in the sunshine, protecting your eyes from damage. When you go inside, they lighten up again.
Tinted lenses – tinted lenses have a wide range of purposes, protecting your eyes from light, UV radiation, and reducing high-contrast light.
