Hi - I just have a quick question.

My daughter (aged 10) has just had an eye test and we have been told she needs glasses. She has a medical card (dependent child) but despite this we will have to pay for the glasses - is there any way I can get help to pay for these, times are hard at the moment and this wasn't an expense I was prepared for.

Thanks
 
Found this 'At Specsavers, all glasses in our kids’ €55 range are free with an under-12s’ HSE optical voucher. This includes the new SuperTough single vision lenses free as standard' I've had a good look about but can't find how you apply for an under 12's HSE optical voucher - maybe give Specsavers a call and see if they can point you in the right direction?
 
We were told by specsavers that you got the voucher after a public eye exam.My neighbour who enquired,was told there was an 18 month waiting list to get an appointment!
