As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to check in on your vision insurance benefits — and make sure you’re not leaving value behind. Many plans reset on January 1, meaning any unused coverage for eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses will no longer be available.
At Active Eyes Optometry in Surrey, we want to help you make the most of your coverage before it’s gone. Whether you're due for an exam or eyeing new frames, now is the time to act.
Why Book Before the Year Ends?
Appointments fill up fast as December approaches. Booking early means:
- You secure your preferred appointment time
- You use your annual vision benefits before they expire
- You avoid losing any unused coverage that won’t carry over into 2026
Most insurance plans operate on a calendar year and do not roll over unused funds, so don’t miss out.
