OHIP Assistive Funding Devices Program for Artificial Eyes
All residents of Ontario with a valid OHIP card are eligible for 75% funding of their custom ocular prosthesis or scleral cover shell through the Ministry of Health. An Assistive Devices Program application must be completed to partially cover prosthetic eye costs.
The Assistive Devices Program will also cover 75% of all associated maintenance of your new custom ocular prosthesis or scleral cover shell, lessening your out-of-pocket prosthetic eye costs.
If you are registered with the Ontario Disability Support Program or Ontario Works Program then we can obtain 100% coverage for you.
