Visual Display Units
​
If you work in an office using a visual display unit (VDU), your employer has a legal responsibility to provide eye examinations and spectacles to certain sections of the workforce.
​
Safety
​
Working in any type of industrial environment can pose potential risks to your vision. It is the role of a responsible employer to provide any necessary equipment.
​
Optical
​
eVouchers are the simple and rewarding way for your employer to fulfil their duty of care and safeguard your vision and health. Untreated problems can be dangerous to you.
​
Driving
Any employee deserves the best eyecare, including those who drive a company vehicle. Safeguarding your eyesight can help prevent problems later for both you and your employer.
At the heart of our offering, we will conduct one of the most thorough and high-tech sight tests available. Each eye examination lasts approximately 30 minutes, giving our optometrist sufficient time to carry out all the necessary tests with due care and diligence - though the duration and content of the examination may vary according to the patient’s needs.
​
Here are some of the techniques employed during the sight test:
​
Discussion of your history and symptoms
First, you will be asked a series of questions that will help the optometrist build up a picture of you, your problem if you have one, and your requirements.
​
Assessment of your spectacles
If you currently wear spectacles, these will be checked along with your prescription. You will be asked to describe how well you can see in different conditions, for example at a fixed distance such as driving or reading.
​
Slit-lamp microscopy
This is a detailed investigation of the health of your eyes, inside and out, with a microscope. It enables the optometrist to detect problems like cataracts, hypertension, diabetes, and glaucoma before you have noticed them yourself.
​
Fundus photography
A special camera takes a digital photograph of the back of your eye as an exact record of its appearance. This means subtle changes can be detected in the future and dealt with before they become a problem.
​
Refraction test
Our optometrist will then carry out a series of tests to determine if a prescription is required and, if so, which lenses give you the clearest vision. These tests cover your near vision, distance vision and any intermediate distances that may be required for your job i.e. VDU work or hobbies.
Ocular-motor balancing test
This simple test checks that your eyes work together without causing any muscular strain at different distances. You will be asked to focus on different points.
Pupil reflexes test
As the pupil controls the amount of light reaching the retina of the eye, we test each one to make sure it is working properly.
Intra-ocular pressure test
This test measures the internal pressure of the eye and is usually carried out on people over 40, who are at increased risk of glaucoma – a disease which, if left untreated, leads to nerve fibre damage and eventually tunnel-vision. If necessary your field of vision can be measured as well.
​
Visual assessment
Once these tests are completed, our optometrist will give you a detailed assessment of your vision and recommend appropriate action. A copy of your prescription will be given to you.

How does it work?
Depending on how your employer operates there are three simple ways this relationship can work.
Employee chargeback
If your organisation has an expense reimbursement procedure in place, you can obtain the benefits and discounts available to you upon presentation of your ID card or other ID documents.
Invoicing
If your organisation does not operate an expense reimbursement policy your employer can provide you with an authorisation document (example provided in this pack) or vouchers to be presented at the time of your appointment. We will then invoice your employer at the end of the agreed period for services and frames purchased by you.
Bespoke
Some organisations choose to have a bespoke corporate set up, so a mix of reimbursement for normal sight tests and frames and then a voucher scheme for DSE Assessments.
