Employers are required to reimburse for safety glasses when the Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&E) shows that there are risks to the eyes that cannot be eliminated by other means. When an employee needs prescription safety glasses to perform work safely, the employer must reimburse them in full. <\/p>\n\n
The reimbursement applies to the safety glasses themselves, including frames and safety lenses. Any extras necessary for safe working are also covered by the reimbursement. Luxury options or cosmetic add-ons are usually not reimbursed. <\/p>\n\n
New safety glasses are generally provided when a necessary change in prescription is made or when the glasses are damaged or worn due to work. Many employers have an internal replacement policy for this, such as once every two years. <\/p>\n\n
* If an insurance policy does not include glasses or lenses coverage, it is not<\/strong> included herein. Group insurance policies are also not included in this overview. Please note: a health insurer will always check whether someone is still entitled to reimbursement. It may be that the reimbursement has already been provided in the period in question. <\/em><\/p>\n\n Special Eyewear BV is a registered health care provider with AGB code: 76090932<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that you can also claim your prescription sports, safety or motorcycle glasses from your employer or health insurance company?
