Hi Norman, I didn't mean to be arrogant. I just answered the question! You all seemed unsure about the answer, so I thought - being French - I confirmed the right term, that's all. Rachel
Hi Joshua I paid 28 euros to see an 'ophtalmo' in January (I had to wait 6 months!). I got 19.60 euros back from the social security and 8.40 euros from my Mutuelle. Look in the yellow pages under Ophtalmologiste here The price of the glasses depends on the frame you choose (some designer ones can be expensive!) and the lenses and also what type of Mutuelle you have. I have a basic cover as I only change my glasses every 5 years! Before getting your glasses ask for a 'devis' and shop around. Take the 'devis' to your insurance company and they will tell you how much they will pay back. Rachel
