Summer is winding down, the days are getting shorter, and autumn is just around the corner. That means cosy jumpers, Halloween decorations, and Bonfire Night fireworks, but also darker mornings, longer nights, and more time spent staring at screens under artificial lighting. For many employees, these seasonal changes can lead to seasonal eye fatigue.
The good news? Managed vision care can help your team enjoy the autumn season without tired, dry, or irritated eyes affecting focus, productivity, and wellbeing.
Why Autumn and Winter Can Tire Your Eyes
Shorter days mean less natural sunlight, which our eyes love. Low light can make pupils work harder which causes eye strain, while glare from streetlights, computer screens, or Bonfire Night sparks add extra pressure. Cold, dry air from outdoor autumn breezes (and indoor heating!) can dry out eyes, and long hours in front of screens only make it worse.
Employees may notice squinting at spreadsheets, eye dryness, or headaches which are all classic signs of seasonal eye fatigue. But managed vision care provides proactive solutions to keep eyes comfortable and productive.
How Managed Vision Care Makes a Difference
1. Regular Eye Tests for Seasonal Changes
Through our managed vision care plans, employees can schedule DSE eye tests to ensure their prescriptions are up to date. Eye exams can identify issues like glare sensitivity or dry eyes and help your team adapt to changing light conditions.
2. Eyewear to Combat Glare and Low Light
Autumn evenings are great, but tricky on the eyes. Managed vision care offers access to lenses with anti-glare coatings, blue light filters, or improved contrast, so employees can work comfortably whether it’s dark mornings or screen-heavy days.
3. Seasonal Tips and Education
EyeMed UK provides tips to keep eyes healthy as the seasons shift: adjusting lighting, taking screen breaks, staying hydrated, and using eye drops when needed. We can also supply engaging educational content to make managed vision care easy to adopt.
4. Easy Access and Compliance
From vouchers to streamlined bookings, managed vision care ensures employees can access eye care quickly and conveniently. HR teams can rest easy knowing compliance is maintained, even as seasonal challenges arise.
Why Seasonal Eye Care Matters
Autumn brings festive moments, but it can also bring tired eyes if we’re not careful. Managed vision care ensures employees have the right eye tests, eyewear, guidance, and support to stay comfortable, focused, and productive. By tackling seasonal eye fatigue proactively, organisations can demonstrate genuine care for employee wellbeing while helping teams enjoy the season to the fullest.
