FSA & HSA Eligible Eyewear – Use Pre-Tax Dollars at RenewLens
Don’t let your benefits expire. You can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for prescription eyeglasses, lenses, and vision accessories at RenewLens. Shopping with FSA/HSA dollars lets you save up to 30% by using pre-tax money you’ve already set aside for health expenses.
What Is an FSA?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is an employer-sponsored benefit that allows you to use pre-tax dollars for eligible medical and vision expenses. Most FSAs expire at the end of the year, which means any unused funds may be forfeited. Some plans offer a small rollover (up to $660) or a grace period, but many do not. If you have funds left in your FSA, prescription glasses and replacement lenses are fully eligible expenses.
What Is an HSA?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is available if you’re enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. HSAs also use pre-tax dollars, but unlike FSAs, your funds never expire. They roll over each year, and in some cases you can even invest them. Prescription eyewear is HSA-eligible, making it a smart way to use your health benefits.

Why Use Your FSA or HSA for Eyewear?
- Save money by using pre-tax dollars

Don’t Lose Your Benefits
If you have an FSA, check your plan’s deadline—most expire on December 31. Once the year ends, any remaining balance could be lost. RenewLens makes it easy to put those funds to good use with fast shipping kits and expert lens replacement.
