EYEGLASSES
 

Prescription eyeglasses can be expensive. Your FEDVIP vision plan can help you pay for them, and most plans 

cover about $140 on a pair of frames. But with designer frames priced at hundreds of dollars, and lens options 

such as progressives and Transitions® costing even more, consider another Federal benefit that can help make 

eyeglasses even more affordable. 

Thousands of Federal employees save on eyeglasses by using FSAFEDS. With FSAFEDS, the income you 

spend on eyeglasses and many other health care expenses is tax-free. Not paying taxes on the money you spend at 

your eye care provider, for most employees, is like getting a 30% discount on eyeglasses.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
 

Prescription drugs can be expensive. Your FEHB health plan helps you pay for them, but you usually still have to pay 


out-of-pocket each time you visit the pharmacy. This can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.
