Almost 70% of the working population are entitled, every 2 years, under their PRSI, to a free eye test and standard spectacles. A spouse of a PRSI contributor is covered in the same way.

Medical card holders are similarly entitled to a free eye test and standard spectacles, or a contribution towards other ranges.

Prior authorisation is required, but in most cases this can be done immediately online – have your PRSI or Medical card no. ready when making an appointment.
