Screen glasses and safety glasses

Staff members at Aarhus University working in front of a computer on a regular basis are entitled to an eye test and possibly screen glasses if it is deemed necessary.

Staff members who need safety glasses to perform their work must wear safety glasses which are big enough to contain glasses with corrective lenses if these are needed by the user. It is possible to get safety glasses with corrective lenses but it is not mandatory, and there is not a purchasing agreement on this.

The department or section must pay for the eye test and the screen glasses.
The employer only pays for standard frames and standard lenses. See the framework below for procurement.

Purchasing screen glasses

From August 15, 2022, an agreement has been made with Synoptik, Louis Nielsen, and Dansk Erhvervsoptik for the provision of screen glasses to Aarhus University.
When ordering screen glasses, you must print and fill out the requisition from either Synoptik, Louis Nielsen, or Dansk Erhvervsoptik. The requisition can be found on AU's webside Computer Glasses under the heading 'How to use the agreement'.

If your optician is not mentioned above, you can check if they are a member of Dansk Erhvervsoptik on their webside.
