Glasses and contact lenses
Reimbursements
For certain eye conditions and insured under 18, other optical aids are available. Read our Medical aids regulations (in Dutch) for more information.
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.
