Eye examination vouchers

As an employer, you’re legally obliged to pay for eye tests for employees who use VDUs as part of their work. Giving eye examination vouchers is a simple, quick and cost-effective way of doing this without the hassle of processing mountains of expense claims and reimbursing staff from petty cash.

Eye examination vouchers are:

  • National insurance free
  • VAT-free
  • Corporate Tax deductible

The eye examination voucher covers the full cost of a complete eye and eyesight examination at over 96% of UK opticians.

Certificate of recommendation

Once an employee has had their eye examination, a certificate of recommendation will be issued by an optician. The results determine whether your employee is eligible for a Spectacle voucher, specifically for VDU work.

In addition, many employers often take an extra step by giving spectacle vouchers to those who have a requirement for a general use prescription. This extends Eyecare Vouchers into an employee benefit and identifys your company as a caring, forward-thinking employer.
