[luvmyguys]

Has anyone ever used their flexible spending account to buy prescription cycling glasses?

Yes, and prescription swimming goggles, too.

You just need to make certain the receipt is quite clear that they are "prescription" glasses.

Yes- no problem getting reimbursed.

I never even thought of this. I need to get my eyes examined and new glasses. I am terrible about wearing mine and I get a lot of eye-strain. My frames are only 2 years old and I don't wear them because they fit me so poorly. I had them adjusted a few times and they always dug into the sides of my head (giving me a worse headache than not wearing them) and slid off my nose, so I gave up.

By the way, I have a fairly strong prescription and was able to get lenses made for a more curved frame by going with an online company, Heavy Glare.
