Discounts on glasses and contact lenses

CBHS Corporate has discount arrangements with several providers to give you maximum choice and value when choosing glasses or contact lenses. Some of our providers are what we call Choice Network Providers, which means you can choose frames, lenses and contact lenses with little or no out-of-pocket expenses. You’ll need to hold CBHS Corporate Extras cover to get the discounts.

Questions to ask before you undergo cataract surgery

Surgical treatment for cataracts is common and usually very effective. You’ll need a referral from your GP, which you can use for any ophthalmologist. Ask if your ophthalmologist participates in our Access Gap scheme. If you choose someone who participates in our scheme, and you attend an agreement hospital, you can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Cataract surgery is covered on most Hospital policies.
