Medical flex spending... for sun glasses?

[DougH 270]

So does any one think I can get away with using my flex spending for designer sunglasses.

I do have contacts and light eye color, and my eye doctor was recommending that I get sunglasses. I just don't want to get perscription sunglasses.

Doubtful - you could order the sunglasses in zero cylinder, though.

Maybe with a medical note from my eye doctor.

It depends on the kind you are looking for. Maui Jim, Oakley. Ray Ban????

I work in the optical business, so if you have any more questions, just p.m me.

That might square it with the insurance company, yup...

Well it is flex spending, it isn't eye care insurance, it is money taken out of my personal paycheck. It still needs to be approved how ever.

I know some one who tried to use flex spending to pay for cosmetic surgery... [nelson] HAAAAAA HAAAA [nelson]

No, technically plano sunglasses are not covered. Unless you have aniridia, albinism, achromatopsia, or one of a host of other eye diseases that make them medically necessary. Prescription sunglasses may be covered.

Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

So a doctor's examination verifying that you have an extreme sensitivity to bright light wouldn't suffice?

I'm talking to the point of getting bad headaches from light/glare, not just squinting.

There should be a break down on examples of what you can use your flex spending on
