Ever tried working with tired, strained eyes? It’s like running a marathon in flip-flops – uncomfortable, frustrating and guaranteed to slow you down. That’s where managed vision care comes in. More than just a tick-box for compliance, it’s a game-changer for employee wellbeing and workplace productivity.
What is Managed Vision Care?
Simply put, managed vision care is a comprehensive solution for protecting your employees’ eye health. Through an easy-to-use online platform, employees can access regular eye exams and affordable eyewear whenever and wherever they need it.
As an employer, you have a duty of care to ensure your employees’ vision health is protected. Especially if they work long hours in front of screens or in environments that pose eye health risks. Instead of cumbersome reimbursement processes – where employees pay for their eye care upfront and submit claims – managed vision care provides direct, up-front access to eye care services and eyewear for employees through a single provider. This reduces administrative workload, removes financial barriers and helps employees stay focused on their work, not their vision problems.
The Importance of Managed Vision Care
Investing in managed vision care goes beyond meeting legal obligations. It’s about creating a proactive approach to overall wellbeing.
Regular eye exams help detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetes and hypertension, early on, before symptoms even appear. This allows for timely treatment, reducing the risk of serious complications and costly treatments down the road.
Unmanaged eye problems can lead to headaches, eyestrain and decreased concentration, which can severely impact productivity. Ensuring that your employees have access to regular, hassle-free eye care means they can stay focused, work more efficiently and avoid discomfort, ultimately contributing to a happier, more engaged workforce.
