Eyecover Insurance

EyeCover is a forward-thinking value- added product provider. We have championed the innovation of some of SA’s market-first solutions. Our designs are available directly to the public as well as through an established optometric customer base throughout South Africa. EyeCover maintains its independence in that we are not a Financial Service Provider; we partner with experienced Financial Services Board Accredited Providers to ensure best of breed solutions. EyeCover brings value-added products to the business conscious optometrist. EyeCover partners with the independent optometrist to provide unique solutions which looks holistically at the business side of the practice. Our goal is to make your business run better, smoother and more profitable. Our Breakage Cover allows for FREE damage replacement with every pair of glasses and/or sunglasses sold by the optometrist, ensuring their clients revisit their store should any damage occur. Which is great word of mouth marketing to attract and retain customers, whilst the optometrist earns great margin on the patient’s claim. This FREE offering to the consumer, saves the consumer the hassle of waiting 2 years to replace damaged eyewear through their medical aid. This solution is designed to have no cost to the optometrist, but rather another opportunity to create an additional revenue stream whilst ensuring return clients and ensuring new feet through the door as customers would rather visit a practice that offers Breakage Cover, than a practice that does not. This is a marketable competitive advantage and differentiates your practice from others. The Breakage cover product proves its return on investment with each and every claim. We have contactable references and case studies from satisfied Breakage Cover optometrists, for your peace of mind.
