Are you ready to trade glasses or contact lenses for the freedom of LASIK vision correction – but not sure about your options for paying for it? Think about using your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if your employer offers it.  

With an FSA, you can put part of your pre-tax earnings into this short-term, tax-free health savings account and use it for non-reimbursable medical expenses such as LASIK.

For 2023, participants may contribute up to an annual maximum of $3,050 for a HCFSA or LEX HCFSA, while lowering your taxable income, on your LASIK procedure Sounds like a win-win, doesn’t it?

Know the Rules!
