glaucoma

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the situation in France is the same as in the UK. My mother suffers from glaucoma, and I fortunately do not. However, I know that once I reach 40 in the UK I am entitled to free eyetests because of the hereditary nature of the condition - does the same apply here? Is it automatically covered on our insurance anyway?

Any advice welcome

My mother had glaucoma and I used to get free eye tests in uk, no need for proof, no questions asked. I very much doubt it will be like that here. The only way would be if glaucoma is one of the conditions which is covered 100%, and then it would have to be you that had it. You would need an attestation from your doctor to CPAM. Try asking your doctor. I had one eye test here, not via the doctor, and asked for the glaucoma test and then had to pay up front for the whole thing, about 38 euros. Pat.
