A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is one of the most versatile yet underutilized benefits offered today.

An FSA is a benefit, offered by employers, that allows their employees to pay for eligible health care expenses, such as LASIK, with pre-tax dollars. Use TLC’s simple FSA Savings Calculator to find out how much you can save by using your FSA to pay for LASIK. Enter your income, tax filing status, and your FSA contribution amount below to see how a flexible spending program can save you on the LASIK Cost.
