Thank you so much for submitting your idea – unfortunately, this time it didn’t reach the threshold of 25 votes to be presented to our student council. We think this is a great idea though so please feel free to post again or drop us an email to see how else we can help you!
In the current climate, we are spending more time than ever on screens. I have never experienced problems before, but recently I have been experiencing increased fatigue, headaches and even soreness. When all my lectures were in person in previous years, I used my laptop for a fraction of the time I do now, and i found much easier to concentrate.
Employers are required to provide eye tests for their employees who use screens. To meet the criteria for a free eye test from your employer, you must be considered a DSE user. This is someone who spends more than an hour per day in front of a screen for work.
The University as a result should provide, advise or work to reduce the cost of an eye test for it's students.
