VDU SPECTACLES
Many employees will have to use a computer for part of their working day. Under current legislation, those who regularly use a Display Screen (VDU) for a significant part of their work are entitled to ask their employer to pay for a full eye examination.
If the employee requires spectacles solely and exclusively for VDU use then the employer must pay for a basic pair. However, there is nothing in the legislation barring the employer paying for spectacles not solely and exclusively for VDU use. It is very important that you make it clear to both your employees and ourselves what you are prepared to pay for and the maximum grant allowed.
Experience of over 25 years examining VDU operators shows that only about 8% of employees overall and very few members of staff under 40, require spectacles solely and exclusively for VDU use.
Where VDU spectacles are required we recommend companies decide the amount they are prepared to pay (which must meet the cost of a basic pair) allowing employees to meet any additional cost for more stylish frames themselves.
We have basic range of VDU spectacles including metal and plastic frames that come complete with reflection free coated plastic lenses.
