Our See Better to Succeed Guide

 

What is the “See Better to Succeed” program?

It's an reimbursement program for kids glasses offering $300 toward the purchase of children's eyeglasses.

Who Is Eligible?

Parents can access it once every two years for all their children aged 17 and under who have a valid health insurance card.

How can I get three pairs for the amount refunded?

Since our mission is to make eyewear affordable for everyone, we're doing our part by offering three pairs of glasses* for $300. That's right: you can get three pairs for $0 (after reimbursement). We want to offer additional peace of mind to all the parents out there who wish to take advantage of this program with us.

How does it work ?

1. Come see us with your child 17 and under at one of our service points. We have more than 80 in Montréal and southern Québec.
2. Choose three pairs to his/her liking among our selection of kids frames
3. Fill out the reimbursement form available on the RAMQ website or Carnet Santé (see the box below). You'll need the TVQ number: #1222377842 TQ 0001
4. Come pick up the glasses when they're ready and let someone from our team make the necessary adjustments for maximum comfort.

I Have a Private Insurance, can I use the program anyway ?

Yes. La RAMQ is pretty clear about it on their website

How long do I have to wait ?

Three weeks. Both for the glasses (laboratory work and inspections) and for the reimbursement check.

I can't afford to wait three weeks for the reimbursement, but my kids need glasses. What should I do ?

No problem. Come see us. We'll figure something out.
