Is blue-light glasses (non-prescription) FSA eligible?
No — non-prescription blue-light glasses are not FSA or HSA eligible.
Without corrective lenses they're general-use eyewear, and the IRS doesn't treat screen filtering as medical care. The workaround is real: add a blue-light coating to prescription glasses and the whole pair qualifies as corrective eyewear.
Not eligible — find a close match instead
Blue-light glasses (non-prescription) doesn't qualify on its own, but a near neighbor often does — the medicated or SPF version of a product, or an in-office treatment instead of the at-home one. Search the eligibility checker for an alternative your FSA will cover.
Does the same answer apply to an HSA?
Yes. FSAs and HSAs share the same qualified-medical-expense rules (IRS Publication 502), so eligibility is identical. The difference is the deadline: FSA money is forfeited at the end of the plan year, while HSA money never expires.
