Eyeglasses?
Hiyaaaa

Are we able to claim eyeglasses like we can for medication? If so, how would I be able to do that?

No, all we get is half of an eye exam covered every two years: https://www.msumcmaster.ca/services-...ision-benefits

Unfortunately, no. I sent a claim for both my eye exam and my new glasses a week ago, but I only got back 50% of the cost of the eye exam.

That said - if you have/can get a copy of your prescription, you can order glasses for under $50 from www.goggles4u.com. I have a couple of pairs from there and they are of fairly decent quality, definitely better than not having glasses at all or wearing ones with the wrong prescription. I had mine checked out by an optician when I bought my newest pair under coverage from my last job and they said they were perfectly fine.
