If you’ve been putting off your next eye exam or haven't used your allowance for new eyeglasses, now is the time to act. Most vision insurance plans reset on January 1. That means you’ll lose any unused benefits for exams, contact lenses, or frames when the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
At Dr.'s Eyecare Center , we help families in Burlington stay ahead of the game. Our full-scope care, from routine exams to medical visits, means you can check off everything you need in one convenient stop. Plus, if you're overdue for an upgrade, our optical boutique stocks the latest designer glasses patients love.
What Vision Insurance Typically Covers
While every plan is different, most vision insurance includes the following each year:
- One comprehensive eye exam
- An allowance for prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses
- Discounts on lens upgrades like anti-reflective coatings or Transitions® lenses
- Coverage for specialty contacts
You’ve already paid into your benefits; don’t let them go to waste. Many families miss out simply because they forget to schedule in time.
Why Your 2025 Eye Exam Can’t Wait
Even if your prescription feels the same, an annual eye exam checks more than just your vision. Our eye doctors evaluate your overall eye health and can often spot early signs of chronic conditions before symptoms appear, including:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular degeneration
- High blood pressure–related eye changes
For children, yearly exams are just as critical. Vision issues can show up in subtle ways like squinting at the board, falling behind in class, or coordination struggles. Our exams are kid-friendly and efficient, designed to help them succeed in school and beyond.
We tailor each exam with age-appropriate tools and use advanced diagnostics to support lifelong eye health.
Use Your Vision Benefits Before They Expire
December goes faster than you expect. With school events, holiday prep, and travel, it’s easy to forget about your benefits until it’s too late. And by then, our appointment book may be full.
Here’s why you should call early:
- December appointments book quickly—especially after school or weekends
- Early scheduling means better time slots and less stress
- You’ll skip the last-minute rush and long wait times
- You’ll start 2026 with one less task hanging over your head
Shopping for New Frames? Use Your Benefits
Thinking about upgrading your glasses or getting a second pair? Your plan likely includes a frame allowance—and it won’t carry over.
Our Burlington optical boutique offers a curated selection of frames from brands like Ray-Ban®, Oakley®, and more. Whether you want a bold new look or a backup pair, now’s the time.
Shopping for your child? We carry durable, kid-friendly frames that hold up to recess, sports, and everything in between.
Use Your Vision Insurance for Contact Lenses
Many plans include a yearly contact lens fitting or supply credit.
This is a great time to:
- Book your annual contact lens exam
- Reassess your fit or comfort
- Explore specialty lenses if you’ve been dealing with dry eyes or astigmatism
We offer everything from daily disposables to myopia control lenses for kids and teens. If you’ve never tried contacts before, our team can guide you through the process step by step.
