Ocularistica Italiana
What are the procedures to be followed in order to obtain free prostheses?
The procedures are simple and Ocularistica Italiana offer assistance in the compilation of the necessary documentation for the competent administrative bodies: ASL and INAIL on the national territory, which are the recognised official authorities.
Patients assisted by INAIL are all those who need to apply for an ocular prosthesis, as a result of having had an accident at work. The prosthesis will be supplied for free by INAIL.
The patient must request an estimate of cost from Ocularistica Italiana and then present it to their local INAIL office which will then issue the authorization for supplying it for free.
The INAIL office will communicate directly with Ocularistica Italiana, who will then contact the patient to make an appointment. After being supplied with the prosthesis it is necessary, within 20 days, for the patient to go their local INAIL office to carry out a check-up, as decreed by law.
Patients assisted by ASL, in order to obtain a free prosthesis, must go directly to the prosthesis office in their local ASL.
The documentation or receipt of the request for civil invalidity (which can be requested from INPS, a CAF office or from one’s own doctor/GP).

After being supplied with the prosthesis it is necessary, within 20 days, for the patient to return to the doctor at the public health structure who had given them their original prescription to carry out a check-up (as decreed by law).
