The CISI provides employees with Eye Care Vouchers to cover the cost of a VDU eye test and, if required, a voucher to cover the cost of a basic pair of corrective glasses. Vouchers are available by completing the relevant Eyecare Voucher Request Form:
UK Eyecare Voucher Request Form
UK Eyecare Glasses Voucher Request Form
Eyecare vouchers are currently provided by EdenRed and can be used at a large number of opticians including Boots & SpecSavers- click here to find nearest optician that accepts these vouchers.
In the event that the employee needs corrective glasses, specifically for display screen equipment work, they will be given a voucher to cover the cost of basic frame corrective glasses although they may contribute extra if they wish to buy from a wider choice of frames. If they already wear glasses or contact lenses it may be that these are adequate for the type of screen work you perform, and this is something the optician will advise on. Where they require glasses for general use including VDU, a voucher for corrective glasses will not be supplied.
