While we’re all pretty tired of being stuck at home, there’s a silver lining: necessity is the mother of invention, so previously daunting tasks have gotten a whole lot easier over the past few years. Take vision care, for example. Companies like Warby Parker have adapted so you can get high-quality eyewear online – not to mention contact lenses, prescription sunglasses and more – with minimal hassle and at surprisingly low prices.
In fact, if you still have funds in your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and wondering what to buy with your FSA dollars, Warby Parker has tons of eligible items. High-quality eyewear starts at $95, including prescription lenses. New customers will also see 15% off their contact lens order automatically applied at checkout, not to mention free shipping. Finally, thanks to Warby Parker’s Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, any purchase of eyeglasses or sunglasses from you means that a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need.
If you choose to use your FSA dollars for glasses, act fast, as they expire on March 15 this year. Here are all the FSA eligible items Warby Parker has to offer right now.
Eyeglasses
Get new eyewear starting at $95, including prescription lenses, all of which are eligible for free shipping and free returns. Of course, style is everything, so with the Virtual Try-On tool in the Warby Parker app for iPhone X and above, you can see exactly how you look in any pair of glasses or sunglasses. – or you can opt for a Home Try-On, during which you’re shipped five pairs of your choice for free. From then on, you have five days to test them out, so you can fall in love with a pair without ever having to leave your house.
contacts
You can also use your FSA or Health Savings Account (HSA) dollars to buy contact lenses. Shop dozens of popular contact lens brands online (including Biofinity, Acuvue, DAILIES and Warby Parker’s own brand of daily lenses, Scout), or visit one of over 160 outlets. If you’re a new customer, you’ll automatically get 15% off your first order, plus free shipping.
Prescription Sunglasses
You no longer have to choose between clear vision and sun protection. Warby Parker’s prescription sunglasses are available with non-polarized or polarized lenses at no additional cost. Either way, they will reduce glare and block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. (Too many styles to choose from? With their timeless shape and scratch- and UV-resistant lenses, these Harris frames will never go out of style.)
Eye exams
Use your FSA dollars to get an in-person eye exam or update your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Many Warby Parker sites offer comprehensive exams and contact lens fittings with optometrists, so you can book an appointment at a store near you.
Accessories
Finally, you can buy vision accessories, such as a lens cleaning kit with anti-fog spray, to keep your glasses as functional and hygienic as possible. (Keep in mind that some accessories may not be FSA or HSA eligible, so before buying, always check with your account provider!)
