What You Need to Know Before Your Vision Benefits Disappear

Most vision problems don’t start with a dramatic event. They creep in quietly: slight blurriness, occasional headaches, a subtle change in night vision. Before you realize it, you’re straining to do the things you enjoy. That’s why an annual eye exam is one of the most valuable uses of your vision insurance.

At VisionMD Eye Doctors, we provide comprehensive eye care that goes well beyond updating your prescription. Our team screens for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and other sight-stealing conditions that often show no early symptoms. An annual exam at our Glenn Dale, College Park, or Clinton offices can help detect issues early, protect your long-term vision, and optimize your eye health.

What Vision Insurance Covers, and Why to Use It Now

Most vision insurance plans operate on a use-it-or-lose-it basis. If you don’t schedule your annual exam or use your eyewear allowance by December 31, those benefits will disappear.

Depending on your plan, your coverage may include:

  • A fully covered annual eye exam
  • A new pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses
  • Contact lens refills and fittings
  • Follow-ups for chronic conditions like glaucoma or diabetic eye disease
  • Specialized care for dry eye or sudden changes in vision

Many patients don’t realize how much is actually included. If you’ve been putting off replacing scratched lenses or wondering if your contacts are still a good fit, now’s the time to take care of it.

And remember, your eyes can reveal more than just vision changes. Conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes often show up in the eyes first. A thorough eye exam gives insight into your overall health while protecting your sight for the year ahead.
