Town of West Seneca, New York - December 13, 2023 - PRESSADVANTAGE -
West Seneca, NY — Local Eye Doctor Group has announced that their Value Vision West Seneca office is spearheading an initiative to better educate their patients on their eye care insurance and how they can take full advantage of their healthcare options before they expire at the end of December. Located at 2305 Union Rd Suite 2, West Seneca, NY 14224, Value Vision’s staff aims to make sure that their patients leave their appointments with greater knowledge about their coverage and are getting everything promised from their health plan.
“We’ve noticed that many patients are uninformed about their vision coverage,” said co-owner of Local Eye Doctor Group John Abbate. “This is coverage that patients have already paid for, and so many people allow their benefits to expire at the end of the year. Nearly every vision plan offers a free annual assessment, and many plans partially or fully cover new glasses lens and frames, or a year’s supply of contacts. If you paid for it, why not take advantage of it?”
Value Vision has three other eye care clinics in Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, and Tonawanda, and the West Seneca location will gladly provide information for their patients that will help them maximize their benefits. Health insurance policies are intricate and cover everything from medications to chronic eye disease management.
“The fact is that health insurance benefits are complicated, and not everyone understands their general health plan, let alone the specifics surrounding their vision policy,” said Dr. Rebecca Polanski, an optometrist at Value Vision West Seneca. “Our staff is prepped and ready to explain the nuanced details to our patients. We have found that patients are grateful for learning more about their vision coverage. Many are astounded when they realize that every year, they skip getting their annual eye exam and that they are forfeiting hundreds of dollars in products and services.”
Local Eye Doctor Group’s eye care practices, which includes Value Vision, have unique offerings in the area. They are one of the only eye care providers in the area that offer medical exams and are also one of the only local providers of scleral, RGP, and other specialty contact lenses. As a comprehensive eye care practice that covers a wide range of needs, patients have a lot of unique ways that they can take full advantage of their benefits and improve their quality of life.
“It’s important for patients to at least receive their annual eye exam,” said Dr. Polanski. “Older adults, especially those 40 and over, need to have their eyes checked each year. Adult eyes get more susceptible to eye diseases and infections as they age. If their eyes develop symptoms of a disease, we can catch and treat it early before the symptoms get out of control. You want to catch eye diseases early, because often by the time symptoms compel a patient to see an eye doctor for treatment, permanent and irreversible damage has been done.”
Value Vision is currently accepting appointments for new and existing patients.
