VšZP contribution up to €100 for glasses for children and adults

Všeobecná zdravotná poisťovňa provides up to €100 from the Health Wallet MAXI for eyeglass frames and lenses partially covered by public health insurance. You can claim this contribution when purchasing glasses at any IMOOPTIK optical store.

Children up to 18 years + 364 days: up to €100

  • Once a year for standard eyeglass frames – no limit on prescription strength,

  • Once every 2 years for custom-made frames,

  • Once a year for lenses with prescriptions over +4 / −4.

Note: The contribution for frames and lenses can be claimed only once per year – one application up to €100, whether for frames, lenses, or both.

Adults from 19 years: up to €100

  • Eyeglass frames – prescriptions at least +1 / −11× – once every 2 years

  • Lenses – prescriptions over +6 / −81× – once every 3 years

What you will need

  • the VšZP mobile app (Health Wallet MAXI),

  • a voucher from your eye doctor (prescription proof),

  • payment receipt from the optical store,

  • completed preventive health check-ups.

Four-step process

  1. Eye doctor. Visit a VšZP-contracted ophthalmologist – the examination must be within 90 days before purchasing glasses.

  2. Optical store. Pick up your glasses at a VšZP-contracted optical store – for example, IMOOPTIK. The payment receipt must cover the full purchase, not just a deposit.

  3. Application. Submit your application within 60 days of payment using the VšZP mobile app in the Health Wallet MAXI. Upload the payment receipt and your doctor's voucher.

  4. Preventive check-ups. After submitting your application, verify in the app that all required check-ups are completed.

Required preventive check-ups

  • General practitioner (adults),

  • Pediatrician (children),

  • Gynecologist (women),

  • Urologist (men).

If a check-up is missing, don't worry – you can still submit your application and complete the check-up later. Deadlines depend on the application date:

  • Applications submitted between Jan 1 and June 30 → check-ups must be completed by Sept 30 of the same year,

  • Applications submitted between July 1 and Dec 31 → check-ups must be completed by March 31 of the following year.

Summary

Children: up to €100 once a year for frames or lenses. Adults: up to €100 for frames once every 2 years, lenses once every 3 years. Contracted eye doctor, contracted optical store, application within 60 days of payment, and completed preventive check-ups.
