In the world of light industrial and manufacturing work, the value of healthy vision can’t be overstated. Eyes, after all, are essential for work in our industry.

According to The Vision Council, 166.5 million Americans wear prescription eyeglasses, and 45 million people wear contacts. Ensuring that workers have up-to-date vision prescriptions and access to basic vision exams isn’t just about clear vision. Proper eyewear ensures that workers can perform their tasks effectively and, most importantly, safely. 

For workers navigating the demanding environment of light industrial work, the need for the most up-to-date vision prescription is non-negotiable. 

Unfortunately, many contingent workers don’t have access to affordable vision insurance, and getting access to essential vision health resources — like updated prescription glasses — remains a significant hurdle. Even for contingent workers with vision coverage, the costs can be prohibitively high, making the benefit practically unusable. This lack of access not only their work efficiency but also their daily life quality.
