Corrective safety glasses are CR-approved safety glasses with lenses fitted with individual vision correction.
The safety glasses come in hazard class S or F:
- Glasses with lenses in hazard class S are normally used in laboratories
- Glasses with lenses in hazard class F are normally used when there is a risk of high speed particles hitting the eye area.
The optician can assist in evaluating which type of lenses is the most suitable one.
OsloMet covers the costs of the eye examination, lenses, adaptation and a simple frame. The frame is covered with up to NOK 1200.
The safety glasses for which you receive a reimbursement are the employer's property. If you need to replace the lenses, OsloMet will not cover the costs of a new frame.
