If they refuse you can point out that they are in breach of the Health and Safety Regulations Act 1992 and I suspect that will get their attention.

No idea who'd you would report that to or whether you'd want to potentially get yourself noticed as a trouble maker in the current climate for the sake of ~£25 so good luck!

This was confusing me, I was thinking to myself.... but eye tests are free Turns out that is only in Scotland, personally I think this should be accross the whole of the UK. We get £60 towards lenses or glasses. Must remember to book myself in soon for a test, though hopefully I won't need any glasses.

I rang Occupational Health and asked if I could go for an eye test. They took me in and got me to look into this ancient light box thing and then told me that it wasn't perfect, but it's not that bad either and refused me a proper eye test. This is a blue chip company who employs tens of thousands of people ffs. Absolutely useless!
