If you need to buy glasses, the optician will sign a paper that you must bring to the Migration Agency, so that you can apply for a special grant for this. It is the staff at the Swedish Migration Agency that decides if you will receive financial support for buying glasses or not. You must have received the decision before you can order glasses.
