    If you use a VDU at work you may be eligible for a free eye test. Contact your personnel department and ask what are your employers obligations are with respect to eye examinations under The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992.

    From what I understand most employers are obliged to provide (or pay for) eye tests. Some employers even put money toward corrective prescriptions.

    at my place you have to work on / or have access to work on a computer (just in case) for over half of your working hours, I got a free eye test anf £30 off your glasses at spec savers.

    Im from Scotland. Eye tests arent free!! Maybe for some but not for me, 22yr old!!


    Thanks for voucher hartcjhart. I have booked an appointment online. I booked the eye test + contact test as i need both. Hopefully the voucher will still work, for one at least.

    Do i just present it to them? & how can i get perscription without making a purchase from them....Boots are wise/cunning and dont seem to give it out unless you ask!!

    Here's the link that states that eye tests in Scotland are free for everyone. For medical reasons I have to get mine tested every year but I think the usual timeframe is once every 2 years.

    My friends get their eyes tested and don't pay. We all work full time and are in our 30's.

    My optician is Optical Express

    Hi,the voucher will work for at least on test,after the test just ask them for a copy of the prescription,

    I originally got the voucher for my brother and he had the test and then asked them to give him a copy and they did no problem(and he's a miserable git:rotfl: )

    Hi,

    So i went to D&A today with my free eye test voucher and turns out that in Scotland you do get free eye tests(when i said i had a free voucher she said you dont need that and she doesnt have any of my CC details)....bummer as i travelled beyond 3 opticians just as i had this free voucher!

    I now have a small problem, i had carried out my eye test with them, but they didnt give me my perscription. Can i call them up tomorrow and ask for my perscription and all the details as i want to buy glasses online! Had a look at the sites to buy glasses and they want so many details(spere, cylindar etc)...can they give me this all over the phone, also they said today that i have an + 0.5 asignatim in my left eye....what does this mean, can they give me the details of this to????

    Also 2 sub questions, first one is i still have to have a contact test as they said your perscription for this might be different that for my glasses. Can i go to a different optiocians for this(a closer to home one) as either way ill be paying for this(plan to buy my contacts on the net as i have been in the past). However D&A have my address details and glasses percription now, i actually have a contact test booked with them for a few days....what should i do?????

    & finally a little challenge fore you, whats the cheapest site to buy these glasses????? police v2959

    Hi D&A are still doing the free eyetest offer but on their site it only comes up with a half price offer,
    on advice from another poster on this site I contacted their customer service email and they sent me a copy of the voucher to print out,
    I cant seem to copy and paste it to here so if you send me a PM with your email address I will send the file for you to open and print.

    the offer is valid until june

    Craig.


    cheers craig,much appreciated :beer: :beer:
