It’s the beginning of 2026, and your vision insurance or FSA just reset. If you haven’t scheduled your annual eye exam or updated your eyewear, now is the time.

At McCormick Vision Source, we proudly serve the Austin community with advanced diagnostics, compassionate care, and eyewear that blends fashion with function. Our new location at The Stratum on Research Blvd offers even more comfort, convenience, and selection to help you see your best.

What Your Vision Plan Covers

Most vision plans and FSAs renew on January 1 and often include:

  • A comprehensive eye exam
  • A frame or lens allowance for glasses
  • Contact lens fitting and supply
  • Pediatric and senior care
  • Treatment for dry eye or eye conditions

Not sure what your plan includes? Our front desk team can verify your coverage before your appointment.

Why Eye Exams Matter

Eye health is often overlooked, but it’s a window into your overall well-being. An annual eye exam helps detect:

  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Macular degeneration

We use state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools to monitor your eyes and personalize your care plan.

Today to book your exam and maximize your 2026 vision benefits.

We’ll guide you through your options and ensure you get a comfortable, clear fit.

Caring for All Ages, All Year

At McCormick Vision Source, we offer pediatric and geriatric eye care that supports the unique needs of every age group. Whether your child needs vision screening for school or you’re managing age-related changes, our team is ready to help.

Tired Eyes? Let’s Talk Dry Eye Treatment

Austin’s allergy-heavy environment can lead to dry, irritated eyes. If you’ve been experiencing gritty, burning sensations or fluctuating vision, your coverage may help with dry eye therapy.

We offer personalized treatment plans based on detailed assessments, using the latest in ocular surface diagnostics.

Why Use Your Benefits Now?

There’s no better time to schedule than early in the year. Here’s why:

  • Easier appointment scheduling
  • Full FSA/HSA balances ready to use
  • Complete frame inventory in stock
  • More time to enjoy your updated vision
  • No stress from end-of-year deadlines

Vision benefits don’t roll over; if you don’t use them, you lose them.
