Yes, they do. Welcome to freedom from glasses, contacts, and taxes! If you’ve been putting off laser vision correction in hopes that something will come along to help pay for it, you don’t have to wait any longer! You can pay for your LASIK eye surgery procedure with pre-tax dollars elected from your workplace-provided FSA or HSA. By using these pre-tax dollars, you could save hundreds, even thousands of dollars equal to your tax savings.
The end of a benefit year can vary. This can mean a “use it or lose it” scenario. In some cases, the benefit year end isn’t firm, and employers can give FSA owners additional time to use the account money. However, this grace period is optional. If you own an HSA, you can keep your money from year to year. Though, employers that offer HSAs are far less common than those that offer FSAs.
Furthermore, during open enrollment is when you need to make your contribution choice for the year. If you choose to participate, you can contribute tax-free dollars during the benefit year. On average, your FSA will cover more than 50% of your LASIK procedure!

Check with you employer and find out the balance on your FSA or HSA, and make sure you don’t throw away your hard earned money.
