At Dolman Eyecare Centre, we help families across New Hamburg make the most of their eye care benefits before they expire. If your vision plan resets in January, this is the time to act.
Insurance Coverage Doesn’t Roll Over—But the Missed Value Sure Does
As a family-run clinic, we know how fast the end of the year sneaks up on busy households. Between winter concerts, hockey games, and holiday prep, it’s easy to forget about unused vision coverage. But here’s the thing—most benefits expire December 31. And once they do, they’re gone.
Many Ontario families don’t realize how much is still available on their plan. If you haven’t had an exam this year or if your child’s glasses haven’t been updated, there’s a good chance your plan still covers it. The key is using it now—before you lose it.
What’s Usually Covered? More Than You Think
Most vision insurance policies help cover:
- Routine eye exams for all ages
- Prescription eyeglasses or reading glasses
- Contact lenses or fitting appointments
- Vision therapy assessments (depending on your plan)
- Discounts on lens upgrades or second pairs
At Dolman Eyecare Centre, we accept a wide range of medical and vision plans and can help you understand what’s included in yours. Whether it’s EyeMed, VSP, or a lesser-known plan, we’ll walk you through the details.
Family Care Means Care at Every Age
Our eye clinic is designed for every generation. We see toddlers getting their first eye exam, parents picking out fresh frames, and grandparents checking in on cataract risk and age-related changes. With a full suite of specialty services—like myopia management for kids and migraine care for adults—we make sure each person gets exactly what they need.
Use Vision Benefits for Eye Exams in New Hamburg
Routine eye exams are the foundation of lifelong eye health, especially for families in New Hamburg and surrounding areas like Stratford, Baden, and Kitchener. If you or your child haven’t had an exam in the last 12 months, now’s the time.
Our comprehensive eye exams do more than check your prescription—we assess your overall ocular health, screen for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and ensure your vision is supporting your lifestyle. For children, exams are vital to detect visual issues that can impact school performance, attention, or coordination.
And remember, vision plans typically cover one exam per year—so if it’s unused, it’s wasted.
Save Money on Glasses and Contact Lenses Before Year-End
Your vision benefits often include an allowance for prescription eyewear or contact lenses. If you’ve already had your eye exam this year, you can still take advantage of this coverage to:
- Replace worn or scratched glasses
- Add a second pair for work, reading, or sports
- Try contacts for the first time—or reorder your preferred brand
- Upgrade your lenses with features like blue light filters or anti-glare coatings
Our optical team at Dolman Eyecare Centre offers a curated collection of high-quality frames from Ray-Ban, Tiffany, Oakley, and more—so you’re not just using your benefits, you’re getting great value, too.
