DALLAS, Nov. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The end of the year is always a busy time with the holidays in full swing, so it's easy to forget your vision insurance benefits expiring on December 31. In most cases, unused vision insurance benefits and flex spending accounts from this year cannot be transferred over to the new year. That's why Eyemart Express, a leading optical retailer known for providing affordable and quality prescription eyewear, is helping consumers maximize insurance benefits.

National optical retailer Eyemart Express helps consumers maximize vision insurance benefits. “Using annual benefits ensures that you are taking care of your eye health while fully using the coverage you have already invested in this year,” said Dr. Tom Patera, Eyemart Express senior executive vice president. Eyemart Express makes using vision benefits fast, easy, and convenient by accepting more than 1,000 national plans and hundreds of local plans and benefits that vary by store.

"It is important to make vision health a priority every year since eye exam results can be indicative of other health issues including diabetes and high cholesterol," said Dr. Tom Patera, Eyemart Express senior executive vice president. "Using annual benefits ensures that you are taking care of your eye health while fully using the coverage you have already invested in this year."

Eyemart Express makes using vision benefits fast, easy, and convenient by accepting more than 1,000 national plans and hundreds of local plans and benefits that vary by store. Trained opticians are available to help answer any questions customers have related to insurance benefits, including what their vision insurance covers and whether a co-pay will be needed. Eyemart Express can even help customers complete the necessary paperwork for their claim.

All Eyemart Express locations feature more than 2,000 frame options from brands like Converse, Longchamp, Calvin Klein, Ray-Ban, and Nike, and have independent optometrists next to stores for convenient eye exams and shopping. The optical retailer recommends consumers schedule an eye exam to make sure their eyes are healthy and their vision prescription is current. Customers who still have FSA money after getting an eye exam and purchasing new glasses can spend it on eyewear accessories like lens cloths, lens cleaning products, and eyeglass chains or neck straps. Some insurance plans also cover a second pair of glasses, including prescription sunglasses.

In addition, all glasses from Eyemart Express include a complimentary one-year frame warranty, covering breakages and adjustments. See a complete list of Eyemart Express store locations nationwide at https://www.eyemartexpress.com/get-glasses.
