Computer Glasses

How do I get terminal glasses?

1. Choose the location where you want to make the visit. You can choose a location according to the following three options:

  • The location where your workplace is located,
  • The location where you live, or
  • The location if you are on a business trip or business assignment.

2. Then select the supplier according to the ranking:

  1. Synsam
  2. Specsavers
  3. Synoptik

3. If an optician's store is missing at the requested location, the employee chooses a geographically nearby location based on the three options presented in step 1.

4. Move on to the next supplier if:

  • The supplier's optical stores lack the necessary accessibility adaptations.
  • They cannot offer an appointment (after you have contacted at least three optical stores in the same location, if the supplier has three optical stores). According to the agreement, an appointment at the optical store should be available within 10 working days from the time you make the booking.

5. If you book via Synsam, you go via the link to their website: Synsam bokningssida and fill in the digital requisition. If you have chosen another supplier, fill in the requisition form (You can find it on the right side) and then send it for signature to your nearest manager.
