FOCUS ON HEALTHY VISION
Regular eye tests do more than check your vision they can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure
Encouraging your employees to book their routine eye exam is a simple step that supports long-term health, wellbeing and performance.
WHY BOOK AN EYE TEST?
Spot problems early: Many eye conditions can develop with no obvious symptoms. Regular checks can help catch issues before they affect daily life. Improve comfort and focus: Good vision reduces eyestrain, supports concentration, and boosts overall wellbeing at work
Quick, simple and included: Your SEE voucher makes eye tests free or discounted - and they only take around 30 minutes
More than just eyesight: Eye exams can also highlight broader health concerns, like high blood pressure or diabetes.

Eye and eyesight testing arrangements
Under the Health and Safety (DSE) Regulations 1992 (amended 2002), CLC, part of Axis CLC Group, recognises its duty to provide eye tests and spectacles for staff who regularly use a computer for their work.
For the purpose of these regulations, the test of vision should take account of the distance at which the screen is viewed. You should measure and inform the Optician of your normal viewing distance. Generally, 50-60cm will be comfortable, but this can vary with individual differences in vision, or the constraints placed on you by the size of screen or desk.

Eyesight testing arrangements for staff have changed as of 02.12.2025. Staff are now entitled to a Smart Employee Eyecare (SEE) eyecare voucher once every 12 months provided by CLC, part of Axis CLC Group The voucher entitles staff to an eye test at a SEE affiliated Optician and the appropriate corrective spectacles for computer use.
