If an employee (excluding contract and self-employed) requests an eye and eyesight test related to their computer work, their manager/supervisor should confirm the employee is a ‘DSE user’ consistent with the University Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Policy
Once confirmed as a DSE user, advise the employee to make arrangements for the eye test by a registered ophthalmologist (optometrist) or medical practitioner with a suitable qualification.
The Eye Test Form must be used for this purpose.
Following the eye test, the completed Eye Test Form signed by the manager/DSO and optometrist and a copy of the receipt should be forwarded to Occupational Health for reimbursement and a copy retained in the employee’s personnel file.
