What types of payments are there for medicines?

First, I will explain what types of payment for a drug are. This is often the first information that patients look for after receiving a prescription from a doctor. You can find different markings on it - the letters B, R or percentages - 30%, 50%. What do they mean?

As it turns out, nearly 90 percent of Poles may be affected by vitamin D deficiency. The human body is able to produce vitamin D on its own, but only in specific and favorable conditions. Poland's location means that the sun's rays fall at a low angle, which means that even in the summer months there may be a problem with synthesizing the right amount of vitamin D. What are the first symptoms of vitamin D deficiency?

Nearly 90 percent of Poles suffer from vitamin D deficiency

In Poland, the sun's rays fall at a low angle, which makes it difficult to synthesize vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to fatigue, apathy, decreased immunity - these are usually the first warning signs that the body needs more of this ingredient
Severe vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious disturbances in bone mineralization and osteomalacia.

Spectacles / Eyeglasses:
There are two types of Eyeglasses.
1.      Prescription Glasses: Designed to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. These glasses are tailored to the individual's specific prescription needs.
2.      Digital Protection Glasses: Designed to reduce eye strain from screens, these glasses often feature blue light filtering technology.
Types of Eyeglass Lenses
Eyeglass lenses come in various types, each serving different visual needs:
·         Single Vision Lenses: Provide one prescription for either distance or near vision.
·         Progressive Lenses: Offer a gradual change in lens strength for a more natural transition between different viewing distances without visible lines.
Usually, every IT company's medical insurance covers 500 PLN for spectacles.

Spectacles contain a frame and Lens.
The frame starts from 100 PLN.
Lens: Single Vision lens will come under 400 PLN
Progressive Lens to about 1100 PLN.

In India, the same Progressive Lens with Frame in LensKart 15K INR with 1+1 offer.
I can recommend Single Vision lens Spectacles, which we can take here with 500 PLN insurance.
Progressive Lens Spectacles are better to check the price in India and then purchase.
