Manitoba Children's Opti-Care Program
MB Opti-Care
The Children's Opti-Care Program helps families who receive the Manitoba Child Benefit pay some of the cost of their children's glasses. It reduces the out-of-pocket cost of eyewear for children under 18 in lower-income families.
Conseils utiles pour la demande
Apply for the Manitoba Child Benefit first if you have not already, since Opti-Care depends on it. Take your child for an eye exam and get a prescription before arranging glasses. Ask the optician how the program coverage applies to the frames and lenses you choose.
Qui peut être admissible
You may qualify if you are a Manitoba resident, have children under 18 who live with you, receive the Manitoba Child Benefit for the child who needs glasses, and the child has a prescription for eyewear.
Documents requis
Proof that you receive the Manitoba Child Benefit for the child under 18, proof of Manitoba residency, and a prescription for the child's glasses from an optometrist or eye care professional.
Comment présenter une demande
Apply through Manitoba Families when you apply for or receive the Manitoba Child Benefit, since receiving the Manitoba Child Benefit for the child is required.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
A common mistake is not realizing you must receive the Manitoba Child Benefit for the child first. Another is buying glasses before confirming coverage through the program. People also miss that this is specifically for eyewear, not other vision services.
