Display Screen Equipment
It's the law. It's also good care.
Under the Display Screen Equipment Regulations 1992, employers must provide an eye and eyesight test for screen users who ask for one, and glasses if they're needed for screen work. SideUp makes it simple to offer, and tax-free under section 320A ITEPA 2003.

Tax-free for everyone
