Community optometrist shops require out-of-pocket payment but are considered accessible because of walk-in availability, long hours, and widespread locations. Optometrists can refer to primary care ophthalmologists but cannot directly refer to hospital eye departments through the national digital health communication system. Only licensed ophthalmologists may diagnose and treat eye diseases in Denmark. Danish GP care, hospital ophthalmology, and public low vision centre optometry are free at the point of care.
