Flexible Spending Account Covers Lasik

• Some employers offer FSA, or flexible spending
  accounts for employees. These plans require the
  person to choose how much money they want to take
  out of their check each week to go into the plan.
  The money is useful for many elective medical
  procedures and for getting equipment like
  contacts or eyeglasses.
• People who cannot pay upfront for Lasik may allot
  money to the fund until there is enough to pay
  for the procedure.
