Glasses and contact lenses

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.

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.

You have dry eyes and an optician advises night contact lenses. The costs are €475. If you have DeLuxe cover and no excess, you will receive a reimbursement of €150.

You can claim your medical expenses quickly and easily via My OOM.
