As the end of the year gets closer, so do many vision care plans. And if you have vision benefits, this is your friendly reminder: use them before they vanish. At Browz Eyeware, we’re here to help you take full advantage of your plan, whether your child is due for an eye exam or you're considering new eyeglasses for 2026.
Don’t let your 2025 coverage slip away unused. If you live in Alberta, including Calgary, Panorama Hills, or S. Trail Crossing, you’ll find all the services you need at Browz Eyeware. With direct billing, a wide selection of designer frames, and a friendly, knowledgeable team, we make it easy to use your benefits before they reset.
What Vision Benefits Typically Cover
Most vision plans refresh annually and cover a range of services, including:
- One full eye exam per year
- Prescription glasses or contact lenses
- Lens coatings, tints, and other add-ons
- Coverage on select designer frames
- Medical services like dry eye treatment
These benefits don’t carry over into the new year. If you haven’t booked your appointment or picked up your new eyewear, you’re likely leaving money behind.
Why It’s Smart to Book Early
Appointments go quickly in November and December. Eye exams and frame fittings tend to fill up fast, and your insurance coverage doesn’t pause for the holidays.
Using your vision benefits before year-end helps you:
- Use what you’ve already paid for
- Avoid January’s deductible reset
- Update your prescription before 2026
- Choose new glasses while the selection is still wide
It’s also a smart time to replace worn lenses, refresh your contact supply, or invest in a second pair. This includes prescription sunglasses or blue light glasses, which are often eligible for reimbursement.
How Browz Eyeware Makes Using Your Vision Benefits Easy in Alberta
We’ve built our clinics with your time, comfort, and insurance in mind. Whether you're visiting our Calgary, Panorama Hills, or S. Trail Crossing locations, you’ll get access to premium care, trend-forward frames, and helpful staff who know how to work with your plan.
Here’s what you can expect from us:
Direct Billing That Saves You Time
We offer direct billing for many vision care providers, including Sun Life, Blue Cross, Canada Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and more. That means you don’t have to chase down receipts or handle paperwork. Just bring in your plan details and let our staff handle the rest.
Eyewear Options for Every Face and Budget
From boutique frame lines to established favourites, our curated selection includes both classic styles and bold trends. Need to keep things simple? We also offer durable and affordable options that don’t compromise on quality. Our opticians are happy to help you find a look that suits your face, your lifestyle, and your benefit allowance.
Professional, Friendly Eye Exams
Your eye exam is more than a vision check. Our optometrists assess your overall eye health and screen for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Early detection matters, and your benefits typically cover this essential service annually.
Specialty Eye Care You Can Use Benefits On
Many plans also offer partial coverage for contact lenses or services at our Dry Eye Clinic. If you’re dealing with irritation, blurry vision, or digital eye strain, we can tailor a solution that fits your needs—and your plan.
Use Your Alberta Vision Benefits Before December 31
December 31 is the final deadline. After that, you lose your unused dollars — and that includes exams, lenses, upgrades, and even frame credits.
If you're in Calgary, Panorama Hills, or S. Trail Crossing, we can help you take advantage of your vision benefits before it’s too late.
