Eye Care 101 with a Flex Spending Account

When people think to use their Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), often the first thing they want to use it for is eye care. All types of eye care expenses are covered by your pre-tax FSA, so it makes sense to tap into the out-of-pocket savings that these accounts provide.

But, when it comes to eye care, you can use your Flexible Spending Account for much more than simply eyeglasses.

How else can I use my Flexible Spending Account for eye care?
