Do Over 60s Get Free Glasses?

If you’re over 60 and looking for free or discounted glasses, there are options available for eligible individuals. At City Optics, we offer assistance through the NSW Spectacles Program and provide a 10% discount for seniors with a Seniors Gold Card. These programs help make high-quality eyewear more affordable for seniors.

NSW Spectacles Program at City Optics: Free Glasses for Eligible NSW Residents

The NSW Spectacles Program allows eligible residents to receive a free pair of prescription glasses. The program is aimed at those who are on the maximum Centrelink pension or income support payments, helping to ensure everyone has access to the eye care they need.
