How much does odsp cover for eye glasses?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the answer is not simple. Generally, they pay the lens fee but only based on a benefit schedule. For example, the most recent schedule provides $10 for scratch coating. If your eyewear provider charges more, you must pay the difference for that item. Progressive multifocal lenses are usually not within the fees on the fee schedule. In addition, they allow higher amounts for stronger prescriptions depending on the power of the sphere and cylinder.

To make matters more complicated, in Ontario, optometrists usually price with frames and lenses at cost and add a 'flat-rate' dispensing fee. Opticians, however, use a retail price (marked-up) for the frame and lenses but omit the dispensing fee. So the schedule of benefits is different for opticians and optometrists. For example, the frame allowance for optometrists is $24.05 and for opticians it is about $45.00. You would be expected to pay the difference.

If you wish to have progressive lenses or Transitions lenses, you usually have to pay a difference in both the lens cost and dispensing fee. This will vary depending on where you go for your eyewear.

The following is just one example:

Single vision lenses, clear, scratch resistant coating

at the optometrist they may charge the following:

dispensing fee $100

lenses $25

scratch resistant coating $20

frame(including case) $79

In this case, the Ministry of Health (which distributes the payments for eyewear provided with ODSP authorization forms) might cover the following (approx.):

dispensing fee $40 (dispenser may choose not to charge you the difference)

lenses $25

scratch resistant coating $10

frame $24.05

case $1.60
