Vision Services

Health care benefits rank number one on the list of effective retention initiatives.  The statistics included below demonstrate how the addition of vision benefits can enhance your employees' productivity and performance:

• Over 75% of the U.S. population between age 25 and 64 require some form of vision correction.

• Visual impairment is one of the 10 most frequent causes of disability in America.

• Two-thirds of employees would trade a vacation day for eye care benefits.

• Regular and thorough eye exams can sometimes detect serious illness, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, and may curb health care costs later on.

• 1,000 eye injuries occur in the workplace daily and cost businesses more that $300 million per year in lost production time, medical expenses and worker's compensation.

• A recent study found that blurred vision causes more hardship in people's daily lives than a history of major illness such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attack.

Partnering with Vision Service Plan (VSP), we encourage preventive, wellness oriented plan offerings to curb costs before they're incurred.
