As the year winds down, so do your vision insurance benefits. If you haven’t scheduled your annual eye exam or used your frame allowance, now is the time. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1, and any unused benefits will disappear.
At Envision Ghent Optometry, we’re here to help Norfolk families make the most of their coverage. Whether it’s your child’s first eye exam or you’re updating your own glasses, our team is ready to support your care before the year ends.
Explore our eye exams or see if contact lenses are right for you, then give us a call to book before your benefits expire.
How Vision Insurance Works
Unlike other insurance plans, vision coverage has a use-it-or-lose-it clause.
Most plans offer:
- One comprehensive eye exam each year
- An allowance for frames or contact lenses
- Discounts on lens upgrades or additional pairs
Here’s the catch: these benefits typically don’t roll over. If you don’t use your vision insurance before it expires, you lose out on hundreds of dollars in care and eyewear.
At Envision Ghent Optometry, we accept most major insurance plans. Our team happily checks your benefits if you're unsure what you have coverage for.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Schedule
Appointments fill quickly as the end of the year approaches. Kids are on break, adults are wrapping up their to-do lists, and everyone’s trying to squeeze in those last-minute visits.
Booking your family’s eye exams before your insurance resets can help:
- Detect vision changes before school starts up again
- Use your frame allowance on a new pair of glasses
- Catch early signs of conditions like dry eye or nearsightedness
Our Norfolk clinic makes scheduling simple for busy families. We provide pediatric eye exams and schedule back-to-back appointments, so everyone can receive care in a single visit.
What Vision Insurance Typically Covers
We offer services for all ages, and many of them are included or partially covered by most vision plans. That includes:
- Eye exams for adults and children
- Contact lens evaluations and fittings
- Prescription glasses, lens upgrades, and designer frames
Even if your eyes feel fine, an annual exam helps track changes, prevent strain, and keep your prescription current. And if you’ve been thinking about trying contact lenses or getting new glasses, there’s no better time.
