Yes. Our Contents policies cover your prescription glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, and removable dentures. We'll repair or replace them if they are damaged, lost, or stolen.
We know how important these items can be to your quality of life, so we strive to get these sorted as soon as possible.

It can be difficult to know how much any specific item is worth, especially after you've owned it for a few years. As a rule of thumb, consider how much it would cost to replace your contents. Not just electronics and jewellery, but your clothing and kitchen utensils too.
To help you estimate this cost, look at prices for similar items. Be aware of sales while you do this. To be safe, always use the standard retail price.
