Reimbursements for monitor glasses in 2024

Obligations for Imaging Glasses at Strength in Belgium

From the Belgian Codex on well-being at work, every employer is obliged to provide a safe working environment, including working on screens. Below are the rules and obligations for employers in Belgium:

Should an employer reimburse for prescription monitor glasses?

Yes, according to Book VIII, Title 2 of the Codex on Well-Being at Work, employers must offer their employees the opportunity to undergo an eye examination at the start of monitor work or when eye complaints arise. If the examination shows that display screen glasses are necessary, the employer must reimburse the cost(Belgium.be).

Are screen glasses a welfare device?

Yes, monitor glasses fall under welfare benefits and can be reimbursed untaxed under Belgian tax law, provided certain conditions are met(Belgium.be).

Conditions for tax-deductible welfare benefits:

• The provisions flow directly from the Codex on well-being at work.
• The employee uses the facilities at the workplace or home office.
• No fees will be charged to the employee.

For more information, consult the complete Codex on Occupational Welfare, Book VIII, Title 2.
