A new law (zéro reste à charge) means opticians must offer a range of lenses and frames at no cost. Some, such as Afflelou and Optic 2000, already offer low-cost options but all will offer free ranges soon.

The scheme, with cost limits for equipment, will also expand to den­tal prosthetics in 2020 and hearing aids in 2021.
