Hi all,
I have obtained my 03 form for Optical Benefit and will have my eye test for glasses on Monday. I rang the opticians yesterday to confirm my appointment and advise that I have this form, upon which I was told there would 'be a balance of 25euros for the examination'.
The form clearly states that "The Department will pay the full cost of an eye examination for spectacles only". I do not wish to have contact lenses and explained this to the person, yet she was insistant that this balance was apaplicable.
Can anybody help clarify this situation or am I missing something? Thanks!
