If you are a Medical Card holder, you are entitled to a free eye examination and free spectacles from a selected range. Alternatively, you can put your entitlement towards any other offer, and just pay the difference.  

To claim your Medical Card benefit you must first apply to your Health Board. Ask our staff for an application form, you can collect it in store or alternatively, we can post it to you. Once you have received your authorisation from the Health Board, just give us a call to book your appointment.

​Optical Benefit pays some of the cost of treatments relating to eye care for people who do not qualify for free care and who have paid enough social insurance (PRSI). Benefits can help with the cost of an eye examination (this does not cover the cost of an eye examination for visual display units (VDU) such as computers or for driving licences).
