Promoting Workplace Eye Wellness

Workplace eye wellness should be a priority for every business. Healthy eyes contribute to the overall productivity and well-being of employees, which is why no employer should overlook workplace eye wellness.

 

In this post, the trusted optometrist at Vienna Eyecare Center discusses how employers can promote workplace eye wellness.

 

Safety First

 

If your business deals with dangerous equipment or hazardous materials, make sure the employees are always wearing their PPEs and eye safety gear. These items are necessary for the protection of workers, whether they’re part of a construction crew or they work with strong chemicals and deal with fumes that are hazardous to the eyes. To ensure everyone is following the prescribed attire at work, you can conduct random inspections and put up warning signs that stress the importance of PPEs.

 

Regular Eye Check-Ups

 

Encourage employees to schedule regular eye exams. A visit to an eye doctor will detect any problems with their eyes or vision. This also allows them to get prescriptions or treatments that would help with their eye health. It would also be ideal to provide employees with vision insurance.

 

Healthy Eating Habits

 

Everybody loves food, and nothing beats free food! Give your employees access to snacks that have high nutritional value, particularly those that are good for the eyes. Choose foods that are high in Vitamins C and E, zinc, and Omega-3, and place them in your pantry or break room. Examples of these types of food include citrus fruits, eggs, beans and nuts.
