FAQ’s
As an employer, what is my legal obligation for DSE users?
You are responsible for the funding of an eye examination and the cost of basic spectacles, if required for DSE work.
Should I be supplying bifocal and varifocal glasses to an employee that uses the computer?
One of the most confusing areas of the DSE regulations concerns bifocals and varifocals. These lenses can be unsuitable for DSE work, as it is not always possible to see the screen clearly without lowering or raising the head, which can lead to other associated problems, such as neck pain.
The basic requirement is then to provide single-vision glasses suitable for viewing a screen at the appropriate distance. Alternatively, Specsavers do offer a varifocal lens designed specifically for screen use called ‘SuperDigital’, which may be of interest.
How often should an employee have an eye examination?
Usually every two years. However, there may be occasions where more regular checks are required. This could be down to the individual’s family ocular history, for example glaucoma, or some other form of ocular disease. Therefore, based on clinical judgement, the optometrist will recommend retest dates as appropriate.

Do you manage occupational drivers?
Occupational drivers or employees that are required to drive company vehicles are instantly more at risk to be involved in road accidents. It’s especially important to safeguard these employees and provide access to eyecare policies that make them feel safe at work.
FAQ’s
What is the legal eyesight requirements to be able to drive?
The basic requirement is that you must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) a car number plate made after 1 September 2001 from 20 metres. You must also have an adequate field of vision – your optician can tell you about this and do a test.
As an employer, do I have to provide eye tests for company drivers?
Yes – under the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, that came into force on January 1993, you are legally obliged to provide eyecare to certain parts of your workforce. These regulations deal with the suitability of workstations, the daily routines of workers, and the provision of eyecare for staff members.
Is there a way of recording when my drivers are due an eye test?
Yes – with the voucher portal this will be recorded from the first visit.
