If you have unused optical benefits, now is a great time to use them, as many health funds reset their extras on December 31^.

At Somerville & Merrin Optometrists, we’re here to assist you in making informed choices about your eye health and getting the most from your entitlements. Whether you’re after a fresh new look, added convenience, or support for everyday needs, we’re here to help.

How Will You Use Your Extras?

Depending on your health fund and level of cover, you may be eligible to claim on:

• Prescription Sunglasses – For comfort and clarity during summer days.
• Back-Up Glasses – A second pair can be handy for holidays or peace of mind.
• Fashion Frames – Refresh your look with designer and boutique options.
• Digital Eyewear – Designed to support visual comfort during extended screen time.
• Contact Lenses – Great for sports, travel, or everyday wear.
• Reading Glasses – A helpful option for close-up tasks.

No-Gap or Low-Gap Options May Be Available
