Mutual reimbursement and social security
It is possible to request coverage for your pair of glasses purchased on our site from social security and mutual insurance, if you are eligible.
Orders placed in store are also eligible for a refund, as in all optical stores.
1. ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS FOR MUTUAL COVERAGE
The conditions to be eligible for support are as follows:
A single optical equipment (including a pair of prescription glasses) can be reimbursed per calendar year or every 2 years, depending on your mutual insurance contract. If you order several pairs, we will ensure that the paid invoice and care sheet relate to the most expensive equipment.
2. COMPLETE MY CARE SHEET
As soon as your pair of glasses is ready, we will send you the order tracking by email, and your care sheet and paid invoice as attachments.
1/ Section “PERSON RECEIVING CARE AND INSURED”
Indicate last name, first name, date of birth and Social Security number of the person who is insured.

FAQs
Is it possible to obtain a refund without a prescription?
NO. You must have a prescription of at least 5 years if you are between 16 and 42 years old, or less than 1 year if you are under 16 years old.
If you are over 43, your prescription must be less than 3 years old to be eligible for reimbursement from social security and your mutual insurance company.
How do I know the amount of my refund?
Social Security reimburses according to a pre-established scale (which takes your correction into account). The scale is available by clicking here
If you have complementary health insurance, contact them directly before purchasing if you want to have the exact amount.
We can provide you with a detailed quote to send to your health insurance provider, which will help you obtain the possible reimbursement amount.
Do you do third party payment?
NO, We do not do third-party payment, so you must advance the costs in full before requesting coverage.
I have already used my prescription to be reimbursed for previous equipment. Can I still be reimbursed by Social Security and my mutual insurance company?
Yes, provided that you have not already been reimbursed for a pair of prescription glasses during the current calendar year and that your prescription is valid.
Please note: some mutual insurance companies reimburse more than one piece of optical equipment per year or authorize a second reimbursement in the event of breakage.
Do you take care of CSS (formerly CMU) patients?
Unfortunately, we do not do teletransmission for orders placed on the Internet (you must flash the vital card to transmit your information to social security). We invite you to come to our stores, where we can do so without worry.
