What is Vision Screening?
Occupational health vision screening refers to the assessment of an individual’s visual acuity and eye health within the context of their work environment. It aims to identify any vision-related issues or potential hazards that may impact an employee’s ability to carry out their job safely and effectively. Vision screening in the workplace typically involves various tests and evaluations conducted by qualified professionals, such as occupational health nurses or optometrists.
These screenings may include assessments of visual acuity, color vision, depth perception, peripheral vision, and eye coordination. The results of these screenings help identify any corrective measures, such as the need for prescription eyewear or modifications to the work environment, to ensure employees’ vision health is optimized for their job responsibilities.
