Optical clinic. The Fund shall provide and equip an optical clinic where employees may be tested by means of an Ortho-rater or similar machine. Where such test shows that further attention is needed, the Fund shall, in consultation with the employer, arrange an appointment with an ophthalmologist and the employee shall be notified of such appointment. The employer shall pay for the time lost by the employee in attending the clinic and for the purpose of keeping the appointment with the ophthalmologist, up to a maximum of two hours in any week. Before an appointment is made with such specialist on behalf of an employee, the employee shall lodge with the Health Care Fund such amount as may from time to time be determined by the Management Committee as being the employee's contribution towards the cost of spectacles. Such contribution shall be in respect of standard type frames, as approved by the Management Committee. Where a more expensive frame is desired, the additional costs involved shall be borne by the employee.
