Many employers offer Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options and/or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to employees. These plans can used to pay for medical eye care services, eyeglasses,  contact lenses, and elective procedures.  Please check with the benefits administrator to see if you are eligible for this type of program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with your insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.
