We only work with the best... Partnership Announcement!! We've been working with Posturite Ltd for 3+ years now...(with our screen filters) The largest provide in the UK when it comes to all things ergonomics. But, Mat Jones and I realised that neck, back or shoulder pain, aka all things MSK - can start with the eyes. Up to one-third of musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints in screen-heavy jobs may be linked to untreated visual strain. Think about it, if employees can't see, they slowly move in towards their screen. So it was only right we partnered with Posturite to make looking after your eyes (and posture) as easy as possible. A vision check you can do in under 4 minutes (screening + prevention) Eye care vouchers you can actually use (compliance) Leading to... Ergonomics supported, that keeps employees comfortable. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Healthy eyes + healthy posture = healthier, happier teams. If you’re leading a team, ask yourself: when was the last time you checked in on their eye health? Thank you Hugo Youngman Kate Wright Jonathan White Chris Jones Nicholas Coomber Chloe Williams for bringing this to life.

People ask me, “what’s next?!” Well, this was 3 years in the making. Most of us don’t think twice about convenience. We’ll queue, wait, refresh a delivery tracker, all for something that feels urgent in the moment. We’ll wait 2 hours for an Amazon delivery slot… but not 4 minutes for our eye health? But when it comes to our health (and our eyes especially), we delay. We put it off. We tell ourselves, “It’s fine, I’ll book it later.” Here’s the problem: Eye exams aren’t just about glasses. They can reveal early signs of glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, even neurological issues often before symptoms show. Yet millions skip routine checks because they’re “too busy.” At Ocushield, our mission is simple: let eyes thrive. That’s why we’ve built a 4-minute online eye screening service: ✅ Quick, accessible checks for employees ✅ Trusted by companies like Aon and AIG to support their teams ✅ Direct referrals to full eye exams when needed To be clear, this isn’t a replacement for a comprehensive eye exam. It’s a convenient first step, a way to catch potential concerns early and guide people to full care. Because prevention shouldn’t take hours. Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes. The truth? We don’t need another parcel at the door. We need a reminder to prioritise our health. 👉 Would you take 4 minutes today if it could change the next 40 years of how you see? #Innovation #EmployeeWellbeing #EyeHealth #DigitalHealth #FutureOfWork #Leadership

Most people don’t ignore their eye health on purpose. They’re just busy. Distracted. Staring at screens all day. And sometimes, they just need a nudge. At Ocushield, we’ve been thinking about that. How do we make eye care easier not just for individuals, but for entire workplaces? So, we built something new: A quick, 4-minute online eye screening that helps employees check in on their eye health. No appointments, no hassle. We’ve rolled it out with teams at Aon, AIG Insurance and others, and the feedback’s been amazing. It’s simple, helpful, and surprisingly eye-opening (pun intended). Because let’s be honest, most of us only act on our health when something goes wrong. But what if looking after your vision could be as easy as opening your laptop or phone? That’s the goal. Less friction. More prevention. Health that fits into real life. Here’s a short video on how it works and why we built it.

The social media team didn’t want me to put this out… BUT we’ve been working hard on creating something for workforces. Both in the UK and globally. As an optometrist led team, we realised… That, eye care benefits are broken. It’s a tick box exercise in the UK. But, with all the screen time…. surely employees need more?! We’ve developed an online pathway for employees… To screen their eyes from a smartphone or laptop in 4 mins. If they need a full eye examination, we arrange that… Via a digital eye test voucher for them. Expensing receipts? No longer needed…. Ensuring employees use issued vouchers, we remind them once issued… Meaning less wastage (oops - I forgot to use it) BUT More engagement & healthier sight with MORE productive employees. Win, win - right? Sorry, not sorry social media team… The message was too important to wait for you to piece together.

Hopefully my newbie social media attempt was not in vain!

HR teams have improved everything about how we work. Except the ONE thing we use most. We prioritise mental health, hybrid working and perks. But the a key organ everyone uses to work...? Still overlooked. Eye care in the workplace is broken. We speak to HR teams all the time who’ve invested in the old, traditional eye care benefits. But on average, only 6% of employees actually use them. That’s despite 90% of employees using screens and experiencing digital eye strain. And on top of that, it’s costing businesses 4.1 days per employee, every year. People are finishing early or stretching their breaks because their eyes are tired. Here’s the problem. Most eye care voucher schemes / internal policies are built for the 30% of employees who already wear glasses. The 70% who don’t? They’re overlooked. And when using the benefit means finding a policy, requesting a voucher and waiting for approval, it’s no surprise engagement is so low. That’s why we built something better. A simple online eye screening employees can do in 4 minutes from their phone or laptop. And a managed voucher service that removes the admin and the noise. No chasing policies. No inbox clutter. No bulk buying. Just a clear, proactive route to better eye health at work. Because this shouldn’t be a tick-box benefit. It should actually help people feel and perform better.

She keeps workplaces safe for a living... And still put off getting her own eyes checked. Meet Tanisha Hyde, Environmental Health & Safety Consultant. 10 to 12 hours a day on screens. "Probably more..." 😅 Laptop and 2 monitors at home. Laptop and a monitor at client offices. Phone first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. We asked her why she'd put it off. "Work gets busy. Life gets busy." I hear this all the time. Not fear. Not cost. Just... busy. Then one day you notice your vision's changed And you realise it's been a while. That's a big part of why we built our Online Eye Screener. A few minutes, from your desk or sofa. It gives you an indication of how your vision is performing And whether it might be time to book in with an optometrist. It's not a replacement for that appointment. Just a nudge, for the busy ones. P.S. Tanisha, thank you for sitting down with us and being so open. You spend your days looking after everyone else's wellbeing at work... hope this is your nudge to look after your own too. 😊
