Workplace Vision Testing FAQs
-
Regular vision testing is crucial to maintaining optimal visual health, so employees have the abilities needed to carry out their jobs safely and efficiently.
There are several reasons why regular vision testing is essential:
- Early detection of problems. This allows for prompt treatment to maintain optimal visual health and prevent problems from becoming more severe and affecting quality of life. For example, regular workplace eye exams can help detect glaucoma or cataracts in the early stages, when treatment is most effective.
- Maintaining productivity. Regular vision assessments can help identify any visual limitations that could impact performance. For example, if an individual has trouble seeing up close, they may struggle to read computer screens or perform detailed manual tasks.
- Improving safety. Regular vision tests can identify visual impairments that pose a safety risk in the workplace. For example, an individual with peripheral vision problems may be unable to detect movements outside the direct line of sight.
- Regulatory compliance. Many industries, such as aviation and transportation, have specific regulations and standards for vision. Regular eye testing can help ensure compliance with these regulations.
-
Healthdirect recommends that people aged 40 years and over should have an eye test every 2-3 years, while those with risk factors such as diabetes, a family history of eye disease, high blood pressure, or age over 65 should test more regularly.
However, we recommend scheduling vision testing for employees once a year to ensure any changes in vision are detected and addressed promptly. This also helps to ensure that employees meet industry-specific regulations and vision standards.

On-site vision testing for employees is conducted by our qualified occupational health professionals trained and experienced in providing comprehensive vision exams.

Each occupational vision assessment typically takes approximately 10-15 minutes per employee. This time frame allows for a thorough and efficient eye exam without disrupting the employee’s work schedule.
If 15 or more employees are tested, employers may receive a comprehensive corporate report summarising the overall results and any trends or areas of concern.
If any employees require further evaluation or treatment, the employer may provide referrals to the employee’s general practitioner or other healthcare providers.
Follow-ups may also be conducted with the consent of the referred employees to ensure that they receive appropriate care and treatment.
-
An onsite vision assessment can detect various visual issues that may affect an employee’s ability to perform their job duties safely and efficiently.
In some cases, our clients have a stricter protocol for eye screening, and we work to meet these requirements if necessary. This may include additional tests and evaluations to determine visual acuity, colour vision, and depth perception.
