An FSA is a benefit that allows employees to pay for eligible health care expenses, including LASIK. Each month, you designate a certain amount of PRE-TAX dollars from your pay to be transferred into this account. Since the amount is deducted before you are taxed, you instantly save money on the taxes you would have paid. Basically, you save on both income and social security tax! The accounts are approved for a variety of medical and health expenses including LASIK.
