THE HIDDEN COST OF WEARING THE WRONG GLASSES

Many people assume discomfort is just part of wearing glasses. It’s not.

As an optician, I often meet patients who have unknowingly adapted to eyewear that works against them.

Common Problems Caused by Improper Eyewear
- Eye fatigue
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Poor posture
- Reduced productivity
- Night driving difficulty

Why Online or One-Size-Fits-All Glasses Fall Short

Eyewear must be customized for:
- Face shape
- Eye positioning
- Daily activities
- Screen use
- Occupational demands

Without professional fitting, even the right prescription can feel wrong.

The Eyewear Fix Difference

At Eyewear Fix, we take time to:

- Verify prescriptions
- Measure accurately
- Match lenses to lifestyle
- Ensure long-term comfort

Seeing well shouldn’t hurt. Let us fix what your glasses are missing.

New Year, Clear Vision: Why 2026 Is the Year to Take Your Eye Care SeriouslyA new year brings new goals—but one resolution that often gets overlooked is eye care.

New Year, Clear Vision — Why 2026 Is the Year to Take Your Eyes Seriously

The start of a new year is when many people recommit to their health—but eye care is often overlooked.

As an optician who’s spent many years helping people see better, I can confidently say that your vision impacts nearly every aspect of your life: productivity, safety, confidence, and overall quality of life.

If you’re still wearing scratched lenses, outdated prescriptions, or frames that don’t truly fit, you’re starting 2026 at a disadvantage.

Why Vision Care Should Be a Priority This Year:
- Eye strain from screens is at an all-time high
- Prescriptions can change subtly without obvious symptoms
- Poorly fitting eyewear causes headaches, fatigue, and discomfort
- UV exposure damages eyes year-round—not just in summer

2026 is the year to stop “getting by” and start seeing clearly.

A simple eyewear update can improve how you work, drive, read, and live.

Pro Tip: If your glasses are over 2 years old, it’s time for a professional review—even if “they seem fine.”

Maximize your vision benefits in 2025 by using your FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) at EyewearFix!

Did you know that most of our services and products are eligible medical expenses under IRS guidelines?

Here is how you can use those pre-tax dollars before they expire:
Professional Eyeglass Repair: You can use your account to pay for repairs that restore your corrective eyewear to working condition.
Essential Accessories: Items like eyeglass repair kits, cleaning cloths, and protective cases are generally covered.
New Prescription Gear: If your current pair is beyond repair, your funds can go toward new prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, or even over-the-counter reading glasses.
Family Coverage: You can use your funds for yourself, your spouse, and your qualifying dependents.

Don't Forget the Deadline!
While HSA funds roll over indefinitely, many FSA plans follow a "use-it-or-lose-it" rule. For 2025.

Pro Tip: Use your FSA/HSA debit card at checkout for a seamless experience, or keep your itemized receipt to submit for reimbursement.
