Why Optical Benefits matter: A key to employee health and satisfaction
Screens dominate modern working life. And while technology boosts productivity, it can take a toll on your people’s vision. Eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision aren’t just uncomfortable — they can affect focus, performance, and long-term health.
That’s where group optical benefits step in. From routine eye tests to support with prescription eyewear, these benefits help employees stay sharp — literally and figuratively. They’re a small investment with a big impact: better wellbeing, better retention, better business outcomes.
What’s typically included?
• Annual eye exam or vision screening
• Fixed benefit amount towards prescription glasses or lenses
