USE YOUR HEALTH BENEFITS FOR BETTER VISION
Use available FSA or HSA funds for eligible prescription lens replacement, prescription eyeglasses, and prescription sunglass lenses while keeping frames you already own and enjoy wearing.
Eligibility, direct card approval, and reimbursement requirements vary by plan. Keep your prescription and itemized receipt.
RenewLens is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your eyewear without replacing your frames. At RenewLens, we specialize in precision lens replacement that helps customers improve clarity, comfort, and vision performance while keeping the frames they already love.
Choose your prescription lenses online, provide your prescription during checkout or afterward, and send your frames using free prepaid shipping. Your frame and order information are reviewed before the new lenses are produced and installed.
Compare available lens types, materials, coatings, and prescription options before placing your order.
UNDERSTAND YOUR ACCOUNT
A Flexible Spending Account is generally an employer-sponsored benefit that lets you set aside pre-tax money for eligible medical and vision expenses.
FSAs are commonly subject to use-it-or-lose-it rules. Some employer plans may provide a carryover or grace period, so customers should confirm the exact deadline with their plan administrator.
A Health Savings Account is available to eligible individuals enrolled in a qualifying high-deductible health plan. HSA funds generally roll over from year to year and remain in the account until used.
Qualified prescription eyewear expenses may generally be paid or reimbursed using available HSA funds.
PRESCRIPTION VISION EXPENSES
Prescription eyewear needed for vision correction is generally treated as an eligible medical expense. At RenewLens, qualifying purchases may include:
Single-vision, reading, bifocal, and progressive prescription lenses installed in compatible frames.
Prescription tinted or polarized sunglass lenses when purchased for vision correction.
Available anti-reflective, photochromic, blue-filtering, and other treatments included as part of prescription eyewear.
SIMPLE PAYMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS
Choose the lens design, material, and available treatments that match your prescription and vision needs.
You may be able to use an FSA or HSA payment card during checkout, depending on card and plan authorization.
If direct card payment is unavailable or declined, you may use another payment method and submit your itemized RenewLens receipt to your plan administrator for reimbursement.
Save your prescription, order confirmation, and itemized receipt in case your administrator requests documentation.
Paying eligible expenses with pre-tax funds may reduce the effective cost of prescription eyewear. Actual savings depend on your tax situation.
Update scratched, damaged, outdated, or incorrect prescription lenses before they continue affecting everyday vision.
Preserve the fit, appearance, and comfort of frames you already own rather than starting over with a new pair.
Check your employer plan’s deadline, grace period, or carryover rules before unused funds become unavailable.
This option makes sense for customers who want to improve their vision without replacing frames that still fit well and remain in good condition.
If your current frames are comfortable and structurally sound, using available FSA or HSA funds for eligible lens replacement can be a more focused upgrade than buying an entirely new pair of glasses.
The process begins after you confirm your lens selection and provide the required prescription information.
RenewLens reviews the frame, prescription, lens specifications, and required measurements before the custom lenses are completed. The finished glasses are inspected before return shipping.
Use your own secure box or request the available free shipping-kit option during the ordering process.
If you have an FSA, check your plan’s deadline carefully. FSAs are generally subject to use-it-or-lose-it rules, although some employer plans may offer a grace period or limited carryover.
Do not assume that every FSA expires on December 31. The deadline and claim-submission period depend on your employer’s plan year and specific plan rules.
HSA balances generally remain available and roll over from year to year, allowing eligible account holders to decide when to use the funds.
