Eye Care

Eye Examinations

Members of the Standard Care Plan have a benefit of R470 per beneficiary per year for eye examinations, to be done at an optometrist.

Lenses and frames are subject to an annual limit of R2 820 per family per year.

As a member of Anglo Medical Scheme, you qualify for discounts on our Administrator's Optometry Network. Find out more on how you can save.

Cataract surgery

If you require cataract surgery with intra-ocular lens replacement you need to get authorisation on 0860 222 633 from the Scheme. If you choose to be admitted to hospital, instead of a day clinic, for a cataract procedure, you are liable for a co-payment of R1 130.

The Call Centre team can advise you which day clinics you can use to avoid a co-payment. You can also find a day clinic in the Provider search tool or on this list. To-take-out-medication can be paid from your day to day benefits unless the facility dispenses from their own pharmacy.
