French law requires all opticians (traditional or online) to provide a free estimate when a request is made for optical equipment (frames, lenses, contact lenses, etc.). Obtaining a quotation enables you to find out about the type of equipment, its brand, price, LPP code and reimbursement levels.

How should your estimate look?

A quotation must include a certain amount of compulsory information. It's difficult to compare quotes from different opticians, as each has its own product references. However, every optician is obliged to include the following information on an estimate for prescription glasses:

  • - Prescription date and reference
  • - Prescriber's name
  • - Prescriber's identification number
  • - Rate of reimbursement
  • - Customer details (surname, first name, address, date of birth)
  • - Total amount reimbursed by French national health insurance
  • - Customer's or supplementary health insurance's share
  • - Quotation validity date
  • - Information on delivery time to the consumer
  • - Any reservations on the part of the professional
  • - Terms of sale and payment
  • - Adapted guarantees
  • - A proposal for the lowest bid in compliance with the prescription
  • - A personalized proposal
  • - French national health insurance coverage and LPP code corresponding to the model
  • - Detailed description of each product:
  • - Frames: products, model + reference, manufacturer/brand,
  • - Lenses: Right and Left Eye, name of manufacturer or distributor, brand name, manufacturing diameter and, separately, options and treatments.

Online opticians are also required to display the following on their website:

  • - A link to the legislation and regulations applicable to optical equipment
  • - A link to the ANSM health authority
  • - To state on the estimate: "an estimate is provided free of charge prior to the conclusion of the sale"
