    Assuming your child is in primary school. Normally you get an annual examination with a voucher for your specs. You can normally get an additional voucher for broken/replacement specs to the same prescription once a year.
    In cases of no change the ophthalmologist normally issues the voucher anyhow or at least asks if you need a voucher. I would ask for the voucher and if refused say that the specs are too small and beyond use after 4 years.

    Resurrecting an old thread......however....
    Was wondering about this HSE eye voucher too. For my child we saw one pair in one glasses shop and another pair in another shop. We were going to get both. Can we get a voucher from both shops? I'm not getting the buy one get one free.

    No you can't get two vouchers in one year.

    Thanks for the reply. I think I messed up. The first shop I was in, I said I'll be back at the weekend, but in the meantime they sent off for the HSE voucher. I thought they'd hold the form until I definitely came back. Then I went to another shop in the meantime.
