Glasses and contact lenses
The OOM Living Abroad Insurance is a medical insurance for a longer or permanent stay abroad.
What does the insurance reimburse?
Whether you get reimbursement for glasses and contact lenses depends on the cover you have chosen:
- Regular cover: no reimbursement
- Comfort cover: a maximum of €75
- DeLuxe cover: a maximum of €150
The maximum reimbursement applies per 2 years insured (or period insured if you are insured for less than 2 years).
You will receive reimbursement for night contact lenses, glasses lenses, prescription contact lenses, prescription sunglasses and frames if you buy these from an optician or optical company.
Are there costs for you?
With the OOM Living Abroad Insurance you can opt for no excess or an excess of €250, €500 or €1,000. If you have opted for an excess and you incur costs which are covered by the insurance, you then pay the first part of these costs yourself.
