Frequently Asked Questions
Upon accepting our Corporate Eyecare Benefit Scheme, employers have the option to arrange and cover the cost of eye examinations for employees who request them. How often? Subsequent follow-up eye tests are typically scheduled every 2 years, as recommended by the optometrist during the examination. However, this interval may be shorter depending on individual circumstances, and additional interim eye tests can be arranged and paid for at any time if an employee requests one or experiences vision difficulties.
Additionally, we recommend that employers cover the cost of eyeglasses specifically for computer work to optimize employee performance.
No, employers have the option to cover the cost of eyeglasses specifically designed for computer use. Some employers may also choose to voluntarily contribute to the cost of eyeglasses for all their staff, regardless of their intended use, as part of an employee benefits package.
Note: The Factory Act mandates the protection of employees’ eyes in certain processes. Therefore, according to the Act, it is the legal responsibility of the employer to provide protective goggles for such employees.
Yes, if an employer chooses to participate in this program, it’s important to ensure that the staff are well-informed about the benefits it offers. We can assist with this by providing informative materials and conducting educational sessions and lectures.
In most cases, employees aged 40 and older will need eyeglasses with a specific prescription for computer use. This is because as people age, their eyes gradually lose their ability to focus effectively at varying distances. On occasion, even some younger individuals may face difficulties or fatigue related to focusing and may need eyeglasses exclusively for computer use.
Computer glasses are specially designed to focus precisely on the distance at which the computer screen is positioned. The prescription strength of these glasses will differ from any other eyeglasses the employee uses for different tasks.
These glasses have a standard appearance and do not require a special frame type. The lenses are available in either single-vision or multifocal designs.
These glasses have a standard appearance and do not require a special frame type. The lenses are available in either single-vision or multifocal designs.
Single-vision lenses have uniform power across the entire lens, meaning the strength is consistent from the top to the bottom and everywhere in between.
Progressive lenses contain multiple powers that transition smoothly from the top to the bottom of the lens. They resemble regular single-vision lenses but offer varying focus distances. The wearer simply adjusts their head or eyes to utilize the desired part of the lens.
Bifocal lenses, on the other hand, have two distinct powers: one at the top and a separate one at the bottom. These powers are separated by a visible line.
Typically, individuals under 40 can rely on single-vision glasses since they require consistent lens power for clear vision at all distances. This means they can use the same glasses for activities like reading, using a computer, or seeing things far away.
As people age, their vision needs change, and they may require multifocal glasses. Multifocals offer the advantage of providing different lens powers for various tasks. They eliminate the need to constantly switch between different pairs of glasses or take them on and off.
Following the examination, we will provide a report outlining any eyewear requirements, if necessary.
Employers are responsible for covering the cost of necessary safety goggles for factory workers. These goggles, however, don’t need to be anything beyond a basic pair.
However, when an employer joins our scheme, they have the option to offer eyeglasses for both computer use and regular purposes. At Blossom Vision, we can provide these glasses for:
- N10,500 with single-vision lenses
- N13,500 with bifocal lenses
- N18,500 with progressive lenses
These prices include both the frame and lenses.
Staff have the flexibility to choose pricier frame and lens options and cover any additional expenses themselves. Our selection includes a wide variety of the latest designer frames, and we provide lenses from renowned brands like Essilor. Our collection of frames and sunglasses is considered one of the largest and finest in Abuja and even rivals those in Lagos.
