Vision care is a cornerstone of overall wellness, yet many Pretoria households face barriers to routine eye testing, prescription spectacles, and essential optometric support. South Africans across age groups-from young professionals using digital devices daily, to children needing school eye checks, and seniors experiencing age-related vision changes-benefit when optometry cover is accessible, affordable, and reliable.
Pretoria’s growing reliance on screens, coupled with busy family routines, means missed optometry appointments can have a real impact. Scheduling regular checks should form part of your yearly health plan, ensuring children, adults, and retirees enjoy healthy vision for work, study, and independence.
Some health cover plans, such as those from Affinity Health, embed optometry benefits within day-to-day health cover, allowing routine eye testing and basic corrective eyewear through contracted providers. For families and professionals in Gauteng, using a health insurance plan that includes optometry can help manage out-of-pocket costs more effectively.
| Service | Included? |
|---|---|
| Eye examination (per year) | Yes |
| Prescription spectacles | Yes (network frames only) |
| Contact lenses | Often excluded or limited |
| Acute illness/eye injury | With referral |
Day-to-day cover options with embedded optometry benefits start from R649 per adult per month. Children can also be added at reduced rates. For families, day-to-day combined plans offer practical vision benefits and general primary healthcare support. Learn more about these on the Affinity Health Day-to-Day Cover page.
