Most plans offer an allowance between $130 and $250 that you can use toward eyeglass frames and lenses or contact lenses. This means substantial savings for you! Just remember that most plans expect you to use your allowance in one transaction. Coverage details vary by plan, so it's worth checking with your human resources department to understand your specific vision benefits.

Your allowance is essentially your vision insurance's contribution toward your eye care purchases. It's the specific dollar amount your provider will cover for frames, lens enhancements, or contact lenses. Be sure to review your plan's terms to confirm your coverage details.

While policies vary, most vision insurance plans ask you to choose between eyeglass frames or contact lenses within your plan period. Typically, you need to use your allowance in one transaction, and any unused funds won't carry over for future purchases. To be sure about your specific coverage, check with your human resources department about the details of your vision benefits.

Absolutely! Prescription contact lenses are approved for FSA/HSA funds, and you can certainly use these funds alongside your vision benefits for additional savings. Just use your FSA or HSA card at checkout and submit your order confirmation to your FSA/HSA provider to keep everything properly documented.

Yes, you can wear a special type of soft contact lens called a toric lens which will correct your astigmatism. However, these lenses are typically more expensive and there are fewer types and colors available than there are with regular (spherical) lenses. Recently, Wesley-Jessen introduced a 2-week disposable toric lens, the Freshlook Toric. Several manufacturers including Ciba (Focus), CooperVision(Preference), and Vistakon(Acuvue) produce 1-3 month frequent replacement toric lenses.

Yes. When you order contact lenses, you must have a current contact lens prescription which specifies the power of the lenses, the size of the lens, the type and brand of lens.

In order to maintain optimal eye health and comfort, it is important to adhere to the wearing schedule prescribed by your doctor. The main advantage of wearing disposable lenses is that you are putting a fresh new pair of lenses in your eyes every 2 weeks. Also, the convenient cleaning regimen of a disposable lens is only adequate for a 2 week wearing schedule.

No, the 2 weeks refers to the actual amount of wearing time so they can last longer than 2 weeks if you are not wearing them full time.

RGPs are smaller and made out of a harder, less pliable material than soft lenses which makes them less comfortable initially. RGPs correct astigmatism whereas soft spherical lenses do not.

It is best if you do not because there are bacteria in the water that can adhere to your lenses and cause infections. If you do swim in your lenses, you should wear goggles over them and you should disinfect them immediately afterwards.

Regular eye exams are important not only to check your prescription but also to evaluate the health of your eyes. This is especially important for contact lens wearers because the contacts could be causing damage to your eyes without necessarily causing any obvious symptoms.

Yes, the most common option is called monovision where one eye is corrected for viewing distant objects and the other eye is corrected for reading and close work. Monovision is a good solution for some people, but not everbody can successfully adapt to the arrangement. Another alternative is bifocal contact lenses which are available in both rigid gas permeable or soft lens designs. However, these are typically very expensive. Recently, however, Johnson and Johnson have released the Acuvue Bifocal which is a two-week disposable lens and is more reasonably priced.

Yes, they are called opaque contacts as opposed to enhancer tints which work only on light colored eyes.

Yes, you still need to be fitted for the lenses even if you don't need vision correction. This is because contact lenses are medical devices and wearing them can affect the health of your eyes.
