You are responsible for the funding of an eye examination and the cost of basic spectacles, if required for DSE work.

One of the most confusing areas of the DSE regulations concerns bifocals and varifocals. These lenses can be unsuitable for DSE work, as it is not always possible to see the screen clearly without lowering or raising the head, which can lead to other associated problems, such as neck pain.

The basic requirement is then to provide single-vision glasses suitable for viewing a screen at the appropriate distance. Alternatively, Specsavers do offer a varifocal lens designed specifically for screen use called ‘SuperDigital’, which may be of interest.

Usually every two years. However, there may be occasions where more regular checks are required. This could be down to the individual’s family ocular history, for example glaucoma, or some other form of ocular disease. Therefore, based on clinical judgement, the optometrist will recommend retest dates as appropriate.
