Have new or unused vision benefits? Follow these three tips to get the most out of your vision plan — that means low out-of-pocket costs while seeing your eye doctor and getting high-quality eyewear.

3 Tips to Maximize Your Vision Benefits

1. Know What Your Plan Covers

To find out what your vision plan covers, log in to your vision plan account for your detailed benefit information. Understanding what's included helps you take full advantage of your benefits before they reset.

2. Get an Annual Eye Exam

An annual eye exam is your yearly check-up of your vision and eye health. An eye exam can also uncover early signs of serious health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The entire family can benefit from an eye exam, including babies, young children, and teens. Start the year off with the clearest vision possible.

3. Choose Quality Frames and Lenses

If you do need glasses, finding the right eyewear for you and your family is easy when you see your eye doctor. Ask about available frame brands or popular lens enhancements like anti-reflective coatings, progressives, and light-reactive (photochromic) lenses to help save you money while improving your vision.

Now that you know how to get the most from your vision benefits, make this the year to prioritize your eye health and wellness by scheduling an annual eye exam for you and your family. Contact Dayton Optometric Center in Kettering, Ohio at (937) 228-2020 today.
