A member of a private Health Fund with the Optical entitles you and each of your family members to claim the following every year:
-
A pair of Optical Glasses
-
Prescription Sunglasses and/or Contact Lenses
-
Or a combination of glasses and contact lenses
However, please be noted that if you fail to use your entitlement for the given year, it does not carry over to the next year. Most Health Fund benefits run on a calendar year so each year on January 1st – you are able to claim again. There are a small number of Health Funds that run on the financial year.
