With the coming into force of the new Austrian Employee Protection Act the issue of the so called "computer glasses" will also gain added importance in our country. Such glasses have been defined as vision aids to be exclusively used for the work on computer monitors and include single-vision glasses solely intended for reading computer screen, glasses with bifocal lenses for reading computer screen and hard-copy documents as well as those with varifocal lenses featuring a thickened central section. There is still a considerable controversy among those concerned as to who will bear the costs for such glasses--most likely it will be the employer. Prescription of such vision aids will be exclusively restricted to ophthalmologists, based on a thorough ophthalmological examination under adequate consideration of the specific working environment and the workplace requirements of the individual employee concerned.
随着奥地利新的《雇员保护法》生效，所谓的“电脑眼镜”问题在我国也将变得更加重要。这类眼镜被定义为专门用于在电脑显示器上工作的视力辅助工具，包括仅用于阅读电脑屏幕的单焦点眼镜、用于阅读电脑屏幕和纸质文件的双焦点眼镜以及中央部分加厚的变焦眼镜。在相关人士中，关于谁将承担这类眼镜的费用仍存在很大争议——很可能是雇主。这类视力辅助工具的处方将专门限于眼科医生，开具时要在充分考虑特定工作环境和相关雇员个人工作场所要求的情况下进行全面的眼科检查。
