How Do Vision Tests Work at Sigma Health?
The vision assessment is a straightforward procedure offered by Sigma Health’s Occupational Health Team and is a part of our health surveillance. During the test, you’ll be comfortably seated, and depending on your job requirements, it may include some of the following assessments:
Visual Acuity Testing uses a Snellen chart or similar equipment to measure your ability to see letters or symbols at different distances. Visual acuity is used to measure both your near and distance vision. This is an essential test for a wide range of professions, including HGV drivers, construction workers (construction medical), and rail workers. It may also be required for quality control inspectors scrutinising fine details.
Depth Perception Testing evaluates your ability to judge spatial relationships, important for tasks requiring precise hand-eye coordination.
Peripheral Vision Testing measures the extent of your side vision, essential for situational awareness in many workplaces.
Following these assessments, our team of GMC-registered doctors and qualified Occupational Health Technicians will analyse the results and may recommend corrective measures, such as glasses or contact lenses.
Why are vision tests so important?
Regular eye tests for workplace safety within occupational health programmes promote health and safety within the workplace by ensuring that employee vision meets the minimum requirements for the specified job role. Health surveillance for vision impairment through these regular eye examinations enables early identification of vision problems in employees, allowing for appropriate interventions to be initiated. These may include the provision of prescription safety glasses for workers or implementing workstation modifications to reduce eye strain. Vision tests for employees also facilitate the identification of eye conditions, such as cataracts in workers or glaucoma in the workplace, in their early stages, enabling timely treatment or management.
Furthermore, eye tests for new employees can be used to establish a baseline visual function for new workers or those entering new job roles with different visual demands. This allows for early detection of potential work-related vision issues and supports the development of personalised workstation setups to optimise vision health. Health surveillance in the workplace is essential to ensure employees’ vision remains functional and safe, helping prevent accidents related to poor eyesight and maintaining a productive work environment.
