Hi there,

Thank you for your submission. I took this submission to Enabling Services to consider, please see their response:

Whilst we understand the impact that increased screen time has had on our students and we have considered the suggestion that the University pays for eye tests, we do not believe it is a viable option for us to take forward. The procurement of eye tests and administration of this to students would mean that we would be unable to get this in place in a timely fashion. We also feel that the other financial support available to students in hardship is better targeted to support those experiencing financial difficulties due to the pandemic.
