Employers can use Employee benefit consultants to open their eyes to the feasibility of offering vision plans to workers.

The Centers for Disease Control notes that roughly 14 million Americans 12 years and older have impaired vision. Eyesight problems can impact employees' ability to complete their jobs, which decreases effectiveness while increasing injury risks. Offering Employee benefits to allow workers to visit optometrists on an annual basis can help employers and workers.

A vision care plan can cover eye doctor examinations, eyeglass frames and contact lenses. However, many plans provide merely the basics and will not offer support for things that fall outside the basics category such as different kinds of laser eye surgery such as LASIK. However, eye care plans can help an individual or an entire family, allowing family member to maintain healthy eyesight.

Benefit consultants can provide assistance to human resource managers interested in offering employee vision plans. The assistance can help employers avoid oversights, allowing them to remain focused on providing their workers the best benefit plans available while maintaining a productive workforce.
