Hey, I recently bought some glasses that I recently found out I needed. I use computers constantly at my work job and then when I go home too, I heard somewhere but I'd need solid proof, that you can get money back for the glasses you have to buy if you use computers as a daily job.

[quote] If you use a computer screen or other type of VDU for much of your time at work, then you are entitled to free eye tests. This is laid down in the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. The tests have to be done by an optometrist and are paid for by your employer. Employers may issue vouchers for you to take to an optometrist to pay for the checks at the specified time intervals. If the prescription is required for VDU use, your employer must provide vouchers towards the cost irrespective of the time space between purchases. [/quote] in my country your health insurance covers €150 every 2 years for glasses/lenses. you could call your own insurance/healthcare and ask if they have any rules or coverage for the purchasing of ocular products
