Did You Know You Can Use Flexible Spending for LASIK?

Flexible Spending Accounts Can Be Used for Your LasikPlus Surgery!
Depending on your tax bracket, using an FSA to pay for Laser Eye Surgery could save you significantly.


Check with your benefits manager at work to find out if Flexible Spending Accounts or Health Spending Accounts are offered by your company.


Planning & Your FSA
It will be important to decide how much of your salary you want deducted from each paycheck - this money is exempt from federal, state, and Social Security taxes. This money will be deposited in your Health Care FSA. Most companies allow you to spend the money any time during the year, even when it has not fully accumulated in your account. We suggest taking advantage of the Free LASIK Exam; this way you will know how much to invest in your FSA. FSA funds that are not used, get forfeited at the end of the year.
