Eucleia: electronic invoicing for opticians
The obligations of opticians regarding the electronic invoicing reform
You’re probably already aware that, starting in September 2026, electronic invoicing will gradually become mandatory for all French companies. Initially, this new regulation will require all businesses to be able to receive electronic invoices. In a second phase, they will have to issue invoices in a standardized format (FACTUR-X, UBL, CII) and carry out e-reporting for B2C transactions through an approved platform (PA).
While all French companies are affected by this law, the healthcare sector—and particularly opticians and hearing aid specialists—must pay special attention to the protection of their patients’ health data. This sensitive information circulates between many stakeholders, especially in supplier invoicing, and requires a high level of security that must be ensured.
This is why, for over 30 years, EdiEyes has been committed to the digitalization of the optical sector. Certified for Health Data Hosting (HDS), the company supports you in your transition to electronic invoicing.
How to choose your electronic invoicing partner?
Choosing a partner for your company’s electronic invoicing is never easy. Between security, ease of use, and all the features we’d ideally like to have, we wish we could just snap our fingers and instantly find the perfect software for our needs and business among all the available options.
To help you make the best choice, start by selecting your solution from among the approved platforms. In fact, using an approved platform is not optional, as it is a requirement imposed by the government to combat VAT fraud, as well as to secure exchanges and ensure invoice compliance.
Here is the official list of platforms approved by the government:

Secondly, companies that store or handle health data on behalf of third parties must imperatively choose an electronic invoicing solution certified for Health Data Hosting (HDS), in accordance with Article L.1111-8 of the French Public Health Code.
As a company operating in the healthcare sector, it is therefore your responsibility to implement all necessary measures to ensure the security of patients’ sensitive data and to comply with current legal obligations.
Thanks to its combined status as an Approved Platform and its HDS certification, EdiEyes stands out as a particularly reliable partner, perfectly suited to the needs of visual and hearing healthcare professionals.
