Overview

• The government has initiated a Royal Decree to channel €48 million to optical centers nationwide for the rollout of Plan Veo.
• Starting in September 2025, every child under 16 can claim up to €100 toward prescription glasses or contact lenses, with families covering any excess cost.
• Families may also receive funding for contact lens solution sufficient for one year under the universal plan.
• The subsidy is open to all minors without means-testing to minimize bureaucracy and prevent stigmatization.
• Critics argue that the €100 cap falls short of the Andalusian Parliament’s original proposal for fully covered corrective eyewear.
