New year, new coverage—your clearest vision starts now.
With each new year comes a refreshed set of vision benefits. If your 2026 insurance plan or FSA just reset, now is the perfect time to prioritize your eye health. At Briargrove Eye Center, we help patients across Uptown Houston and the Galleria area use their coverage wisely on services that truly benefit their vision.
Whether you're due for an exam, considering contact lenses, or ready to update your look with a new pair of frames, our team is here to help you get the most value from your 2026 plan.
What Can Vision Benefits Cover?
Most vision insurance plans and FSAs provide coverage for:
- A comprehensive eye exam
- A frame or lens allowance for eyeglasses
- Coverage or discounts on contact lenses
- Co-pays or savings for specialty services like emergency eye care
- Pediatric eye care and vision screenings
If you’re enrolled in an FSA or HSA, you can also use pre-tax funds toward upgraded lenses, medical treatments, and a second pair of glasses or prescription sunglasses.

Book Your Annual Eye Exam Early
Routine eye exams are the foundation of lifelong vision care. Even if your prescription hasn't changed, your eyes can reveal early signs of serious health conditions, including:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic eye disease
At Briargrove Eye Center, we use advanced diagnostic technology to catch these issues early. Every exam is tailored to your needs and delivered with personalized attention. Our goal is to keep your vision clear and your eyes healthy, no matter your age or history.
Start the year strong. Request an appointment and use your 2026 benefits before your calendar fills up.
