Most vision plans reset every January—and those unused benefits? They’re gone for good. At Hartland Eye Care, we’re here to help you and your family make the most of them while there’s still time.
Why Year-End Vision Insurance Deadlines Matter
It’s no secret that December gets hectic fast. Holiday plans, family events, winter breaks—eye care often slips to the bottom of the list. But if you have a vision insurance plan, that unused coverage disappears once the year ends.
That means you could be missing out on fully covered eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses you’ve already paid into through your premiums. Worse, many people don’t even realize how much they have left to use until it’s too late. If your plan follows the calendar year (and most do), those benefits are about to expire.
What Can You Still Use Your Vision Benefits For?
Whether you have VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, or another provider, vision plans typically include:
- A comprehensive eye exam
- A new pair of prescription glasses
- Contact lenses or a contact lens fitting
- Discounts on specialty lenses or second pairs
If you or your child haven’t had an eye exam in 2025, this is your sign. Not only can an exam catch changes in vision—it can also detect early signs of eye conditions before symptoms appear. Plus, if your child needs an update before the next semester or you want to pick out backup frames while they’re covered, now’s the time to act.
Don’t Leave Family Benefits on the Table
Families in Hartland Township know the value of practical benefits—especially when it comes to healthcare. Vision insurance is one of the few benefits that routinely goes underused, even when it’s already built into your family’s coverage.
With just a few weeks left in the year, now is the moment to check those balances and make sure your kids, spouse, and yes—even you—have made the most of your plan.
