1 – The Service and your responsibilities
The service is interactive between you and a Specsavers Optican/Audiologist (“Specsavers Professional”) during which you may ask the Specsavers Professional questions about your optical and/or hearing health and the Specsavers Professional may provide healthcare advice based on the information you provide during the consultation and which is contained in your healthcare record.
Important information for optical customers whose prescription has expired or is about to expire. If you are an existing Specsavers customer we will be able to access your prescription however, if you are not an existing Specsavers customer we will need to see your prescription. If this is not available, we may have to contact your existing optician to ask for your current prescription (in which case your optician will require your consent to release this to Specsavers). If a prescription cannot be provided we will not be able to issue a new prescription or extend your existing one. The Specsavers Professional will discuss this with you during the consultation as required.

4 – Charges for services
For the standard Remote Care you will not be charged however, in the event that your existing contact lens prescription has expired or is near to expiry the Specsavers Professional can carry out remote testing in order that the Specsavers Professional may issue an extension to or renew your prescription for which there will be a charge of €15 if you aren’t an EasyCare customer. In more complex cases where the clinician needs to do a more thorough investigation – we may have to arrange an appointment to come into a Specsavers Store for which there will be a charge of €10 if you aren’t an EasyCare customer.
In the event there is a charge for the issue or renewal of a prescription we will process this payment during the remote consultation in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

At any time prior to the Specsavers Professional issuing an extended or new prescription you are free to change your mind without any charge.

Should you require a copy of your prescription the Specsavers Professional can provide this free of charge.
