In this economy, it can be hard to discern what constitutes a good investment. But taking care of your eyes is always one of the smartest investments you can make. Your vision influences everything you do, and you only get one pair of eyes to last a lifetime.
At Ighani Eye Care in Bedford, Texas, we’re here to help you protect your investment—and to remind you that the end of the year is quickly approaching. If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), now is the perfect time to schedule your comprehensive eye exam and use your FSA dollars before they expire on December 31. Most FSAs operate on a “use-it-or-lose-it” basis, meaning any remaining funds disappear when the year ends.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can use those funds for all the same healthcare expenses you’d use your FSA for. With an HSA, funds do not expire and can be carried into the new year.
Smart Ways to Use Your FSA and HSA
Your FSA and HSA funds can be applied to a wide range of eye care expenses, including:
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Medical eye exams
- Treatments for eye conditions
- LASIK
- Out-of-pocket portions of cataract surgery (laser-assisted procedures and upgraded premium lenses)
- Copays and deductibles
Don’t Delay on Eye Concerns
Many eye conditions—like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts—develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms. That’s why regular eye exams are essential, especially as we age.
A comprehensive, dilated eye exam with one of our experienced, board-certified ophthalmologists provides a detailed view of your eye health and allows us to detect issues early, when they’re most treatable.
Medical Eye Exams & Insurance
A medical eye exam is different from a basic vision screening. Because it evaluates the overall health of your eyes, it is typically billed through your medical insurance, not your vision plan. For many patients, this means broader coverage. Medicare also covers medical eye exams for those who qualify. Our experienced finance and insurance specialist can help you determine the scope of your coverage.
Meet Our Caring Providers
Maybe you’ve heard our tagline before. It’s I Care. You’ll See. More than a catchy play on words, it’s a promise to our valued patients. We promise to treat you with the same compassion and concern we would have for our own family members. To us, you are family, and we care about you and your eye health.
Farshid Ighani, MD, (Dr. I!) is a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist and Cataract and Refractive Specialist. Respected for his experience and skill in the medical management of many eye diseases and conditions, patients appreciate him most for his warmth and compassion.
Brian Anding, MD, is a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist with special interest and experience in glaucoma diagnosis and management. This lifelong Texan has more than 30 years of experience in eye care, but our patients are more impressed by his dedication to patient care.
Finish the Year with the Vision You Deserve
As we enter the holiday season, let’s make sure you can see every moment with the vision you deserve. Don’t let your FSA dollars go to waste—and don’t wait until schedules fill up.
Book your comprehensive eye exam at Ighani Eye Care today and make the most of your benefits before December 31. Happy Holidays!
