Display Screen Equipment Legislation

Since the introduction of the Health and Safety (DSE) Regulations 1992, eye care for Visual Display Unit (VDU) users is required to be provided by employers in accordance with regulation 5 of the DSE Regulations. For information on the regulations, go to www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk.

Direct Eyecare Onsite Service
Direct Eyecare offer a simple, hassle free, solution to manage VDU eye care. We can test your employees in the workplace. Each employee will only be required to leave their work station for a maximum 30 minutes. (This allows for the eye exam, administration and any dispensing that may be required).

The Benefits of our Service
We ensure that our clients not only comply with the law but also gain real benefit from the assessments. We do not regard VDU assessments as simply a 'tick box' exercise but as an opportunity to:

improve productivity and quality
reduce sickness
cut compensation claims
improve customer service.

Further Benefits
Minimal time off work required by staff.
All the required paperwork is completed by our Opticians onsite.
The onsite set up is identical to a high street practice, where patients are dispensed with a VDU prescription.

Competitive prices
