PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING SAFETY GLASSES
 Contact your supervisor or the Purchasing Office* to obtain an “Application
for Employee Prescription Safety Glasses”.
*Heidi Wallner at ext. 2926 or hwallner@uwsp.edu.
 Fill out the top part of the application form and sign it. Your supervisor needs
to fill out the bottom part of the form and sign it.
 Make an appointment at your eye doctor for an exam or, if you’ve recently
had an exam, make an appointment to see your doctor to fill out the eyeglass
order form which you will receive from Purchasing. Note: State Health
Insurance pays for eye exams every two years. Your insurance is the primary
coverage. If your insurance doesn’t cover, partially covers, or you have no
insurance, UWSP pays the cost balance.
 The day before or the day of your exam come to the Purchasing Office (041W
Main) to pick out your frames. You will be given the set of frames and the
Order Form for your eye doctor to fill out.
 As soon as possible, bring the following back to Purchasing (041 Main):
o Sample Frames (next day return, please)
o “Application for Employee Prescription Safety Glasses” form signed by
your supervisor
o Eyeglass Order Form, filled in by eye doctor.
 We will order your glasses and contact you as soon as they arrive in our office.
