The cost of digital eye strain

Poor eye health is hurting productivity - but It's Fixable

  • 76% of employees spend 9-11 hours on screens daily.
  • This results in 135.3 million lost workdays annually due to fatigue & headaches.
  • 48% of UK employees do not get regular eye tests.

The result? More sick days, lower focus, and reduced performance.

Why employees don't prioritise Eye Health

Barriers to engaging in eye health

  • Employees are overloaded with work, family, and life commitments.
  • Eye care falls down the priority list – until symptoms become unbearable.
  • Ocushield's digital screening gives them a gentle push to take action before it's too late.

Complex voucher redemption process, the Traditional Process is a hassle

  • Employees must find internal policy documents.
  • Contact the responsible team, wait for a voucher (if it's processed quickly).
  • If delayed, the issue gets deprioritised, leading to lost or unused vouchers.

A More Effective Approach? Combine Eye Screening with Simplified Voucher Redemption.

GDPR compliance and data safe

  • Cyber Essentials certified
  • Cyber Essentials Plus certified
  • ISO 27001 information security management certified
