Who can benefit from the Plan VEO?

Children and teenagers up to and including 16 who are entitled to public healthcare in Spain and have a diagnosed refractive problem. It also applies to MUFACE, MUGEJU and ISFAS members.

How much does it cost to process the Plan VEO?

Processing is completely free. The optician handles the subsidy with the Spanish Ministry of Health. If the glasses cost less than 100€, you pay nothing. If they cost more, you only pay the difference.

Do I need a prescription from an ophthalmologist?

For children aged 6 to 16, the optometrist in the shop can carry out the eye test directly. For children under 5, a prescription from an ophthalmologist is needed. In every case, bring the child’s health card and the ID card (DNI) of the parent or guardian.

Until when can I apply for the Plan VEO?

The subsidy is available until 31 December 2026 or until the budget runs out, whichever comes first. Around 25% of the fund is currently left.
