Re: Free Eye Test-Medical Card
If you attend an optician for an eye test - the cost is not covered by your medical card. This means you will have to pay the cost of the test - just as non-medical card holders do.
Shop around for a few opticians and check prices in advance of booking a test.
If you attend your GP for an eye test - tests for driving licences are not covered by your medical card. So, you will have to pay the full cost of the visit.
Medical cards also don't cover the cost of medical or other examinations required by life insurance or assurance companies.
