GLASSES
FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
You are a First Nations person and
you want to buy glasses?
Here's how it works:

TAKE AN
Exam
For that, you need to make an appointment with an optometrist. Don't forget to mention your identification number.
In many cases, the exam will be free. Ask your optometrist to check the rates for First Nations people.

- Your prescription
- Your identification number

Let us
verify
We will contact Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) to check your eligibility.
If you're eligible, we'll receive a confirmation of the refundable amount from Indigenous Services Canada, along with the authorization document you'll be asked to sign.
If you're NOT eligible, don't worry, we'll find a solution.

Make your
your selection
If you take the basic options*, it is highly likely that the allocated amount will cover the full cost of your glasses.
However, if you take more expensive options (transitions, blue light filter, etc.) you may have to pay the difference.

your selection
As soon as they are ready, we contact you so you can come and pick them up. We’ll make small adjustments if needed for your visual comfort.
