Changes are coming to health care laws that will limit the amount you can contribute to your Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Currently most employers allow you to put up to $5000 in a pre-tax FSA which provides significant savings on high dollar health care costs such as Lasik. However, beginning in 2013 you will be limited to $2500. If you are planning on having Lasik and have an FSA account through your employer take advantage of it now!

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) provide pre tax dollars for health care costs. Lasik is a qualified expense for these types of accounts and a great way to save on your Lasik surgery. Before you assign money to be put into your account be sure to visit us for a Lasik consultation. Our screening includes a full eye health exam and measurements of the cornea  to ensure you are a good Lasik candidate. With FSA accounts, the full year of funds are available January 1st so you can have this life changing surgery in time for all of your summertime activities.

The screening is the most important step of the Lasik process. Most people are good candidates for Lasik surgery. However, there are some people who are not well suited for Lasik or other types of refractive surgery. Performing the appropriate tests to ensure you are a good candidate is critical. That is why at Southwest Eye Care and Laser we have invested in the most state of the art technology for mapping and measureing your eyes to make sure you are the best possible candidate.
