Computer glasses and safety glasses

All employees who work at a computer screen for over one hour per day are entitled to an eye test and, where necessary, computer glasses. Prescription safety glasses are provided when standard safety glasses cannot be combined with regular prescription glasses, e.g., for laboratory or workshop activities. Computer glasses (VDU glasses) and prescription safety glasses, including eye test, are paid for by the employer and remain the property of the employer. Regular reading glasses are not subsidised.

1. Complete and print the requisition form for computer/safety glasses. The requisition applies to both eye test, glasses and frames.
2. Contact the HR at your institution/equivalent or your manager for information about who is authorized to sign the requisition form.
3. Book your eye test at Synsam via Glasögon på jobbet - Synsam or alternatively by calling/visiting the store. (Text in Swedish)
4. Bring the signed requisition form to Synsam. Synsam needs the requisition form so that the institution/equivalent can be invoiced and receive the correct price according to the agreement. The invoice is sent directly to the institution/equivalent and you do not have to make any expenses.

If an appointment is not available within 2 weeks, university employees have the option of emailing the store on Dragarbrunnsgatan, which will then help find an appointment.
