Eye exams covered by the social system in European Union countries 2020

In 2020, European social systems that pay for eye exams favored those made by ophthalmologists over opticians or optometrists. For instance, the social systems of 30 European countries paid for a child's exam made by an ophthalmologist in 2020. On the other hand, only six countries paid for a child's exam when it was performed by an optician or an optometrist.
