Spectacles and contact lenses

Do you suffer from a particular eye condition, or is the insured younger than 18? Then read our Medical Aids Regulations (PDF) for more information about optical aids.

When do you qualify for reimbursement?

You qualify for reimbursement of contact lenses or spectacle lenses at the appropriate strength when an eye test proves you need them. When you submit a claim, the invoice must clearly state the strength of the spectacle lenses or contact lenses.
