Collins Vision Can Help You Finish the Year with the Vision You Deserve
Cataract surgery is an exciting opportunity. You may not readily think of a surgical procedure to correct age-related diminishing vision as an exciting opportunity, but it is! It’s an opportunity to maintain your independence, give you more confidence driving (especially at night!), and to reduce your risk of falling and injuring yourself.
Beyond those basic wellness benefits, modern refractive cataract surgery offers an opportunity to reduce your dependency on glasses and possibly even improve your vision at the same time your cataracts are removed.
At Collins Vision, we love to guide individuals through the amazing journey to restored, and possibly even improved, vision. Let’s talk more about how it all works and why now is an ideal time to have cataract surgery at Collins Vision.
Cataract Surgery Coverage Explained
At Collins Vision, we do things a little differently, and it’s all about you. Your Collins Vision surgeon will meet with you one-on-one to examine the health of your eyes, discuss your lifestyle, hobbies and goals after surgery to decide on a plan together. We want you to leave your consultation feeling confident and excited about your upcoming surgery and potential new vision.
Next, it’s time to meet with one of our knowledgeable counselors, who will explain the different paths you can choose from for your cataract surgery. The paths are based on the health of your eyes and what you want to achieve after your cataract surgery. Based on those factors, your surgeon will recommend the path we believe is best for you. We will help you understand your specific insurance coverage so you fully understand what insurance will and will not cover.

Maximize End-of-Year Savings
By the final months of the year, most people have met their annual deductible, making it a great time to schedule needed medical procedures like cataract surgery (before deductibles reset in January). With your deductible met, your supplemental insurance may very well help pay for more of your procedure costs. If you have an HSA or FSA, these types of accounts can help pay for any out-of-pocket portion, too. Not sure how all that works? We can help.
