VDU Testing

Employees who regularly use a VDU as part of their work are entitled to have regular VDU eye tests, paid for by their employer, under European Health and Safety Law. The employer is also obliged to pay for a pair of basic glasses if they are specifically and exclusively for VDU use.

Scrivens Opticians VDU Eye Examinations Service:

• All VDU users will receive a full eye test, giving consideration to their occupational needs and the appropriate visual standards
• A special VDU report form will be issued to the Company, specifying whether a correction is required specifically for VDU use
• For this service, we charge a reduced Corporate VDU fee

Scrivens Opticians VDU Glasses Service:

• Only a small proportion of VDU users receiving a full eye examination will require correction specifically for VDU use
• If the glasses are used for any other purpose, the employer is not obliged to bear the cost
• Spectacles that are specifically for VDU use are generally a single vision correction
• The cost of such VDU glasses starts at an inclusive price of £55 for frames and standard single vision lenses
• Should employees wish to choose from our full range of frames and lenses, they are free to do so. Any additional cost incurred will be payable by the individual employee
