Subsidy for glasses

Subsidy for glasses under the university's screen based equipment policy

The University will subsidise glasses needed by staff members who use a Visual Display Unit (VDU) at work provided the glasses are specifically prescribed for their VDU work, either because the visual problem arises with VDU work and the glasses are used only for that work, or in the case of staff members who have glasses for other purposes, there is a need for different glasses for VDU work. Screen based equipment policy.
