Eye Care Plan

Employees who work with a VDU for more than one hour per day are entitled to receive a vision examination paid for by VMware. In addition, VMware must also contribute towards the cost of glasses if it is determined by the test, that they are specifically required for VDU work. The frequency of new spectacles is restricted to a change in lens prescription as judged by the optician, typically every 24 months.
