Your Expert Guide to Using HSA & FSA for Eyewear
It’s that time of year—you’ve got money in your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and the "use-it-or-lose-it" deadline is often approaching.
The great news? Eyeglasses are an approved, simple way to use those tax-free dollars.
As your SF-based eyewear experts with over 20 years of experience, we're here to help you get the most out of your benefits. Here’s our simple guide.
✅ What’s Eligible? (The Good Stuff)
An HSA or FSA is a special, pre-tax account for qualifying healthcare expenses. That includes the items essential for your vision.
At Choice Eyewear, you can use your funds to pay for:
-
Prescription Eyeglasses
-
Prescription Sunglasses
-
Prescription Reading Glasses
-
Lens Upgrades (like Anti-Reflective, Blue Light filtering, or our new Photochromic lenses!)
🛒 How to Use Your Card at Checkout
It's simple. If your HSA or FSA provides a Visa or Mastercard, you can use it just like a regular credit card at checkout.
-
Shop our curated collection and add your perfect pair to the cart.
-
At checkout, enter your HSA/FSA card details.
-
You’re done! Be sure to keep your order confirmation for your records.
📄 What About Reimbursements & Itemized Receipts?
No problem. Your order confirmation email includes all the details most providers need for reimbursement.
If you need a more detailed, itemized receipt, our expert support team is here to help. Just contact us, and we’ll provide one immediately. We're committed to making this process stress-free.
⚠️ What's Not Covered?
It's important to note that most plans do not cover:
-
Non-prescription "fashion" glasses (unless they have a Blue Light filter, which is often eligible).
-
Non-prescription sunglasses.
-
Eyewear accessories like cases, chains, or cleaning cloths.
We always recommend checking with your plan administrator if you're not sure what's covered.
✨ Don’t Let Your Benefits Expire!
Many FSA funds expire at the end of the calendar year. It's the perfect time to invest in your eye health and refresh your style.
At Choice Eyewear, every frame includes free, high-quality clear single-vision lenses. You're not just getting a great pair of glasses—you're getting incredible, transparent value.
