"Three years ago, VSP's Workplace Vision Health Report found that 50% of workers were experiencing at least one eye issue. By last year, that number had climbed to 63%. Today it's 66% and rising. That's a 16-percentage-point jump in just three years, and it spans both desk workers and non-desk workers alike."
"We are now spending upward of 100 hours a week in front of screens: phones, tablets, monitors, and televisions. That sustained 'visual load' is generating screen-related visual discomfort at a rate our workplaces haven't been designed to absorb."
"The downstream effects, according to VSP's research, are reduced productivity, diminished ability to focus, and a declining quality of work output."
The American workforce is facing a visual crisis, with eye issues rising from 50% to 66% in three years. This increase is attributed to excessive screen time, now exceeding 100 hours weekly. The sustained visual load causes discomfort, reducing productivity and focus. The findings from VSP Vision Care highlight the urgent need for workplaces to address these challenges to maintain quality work output and support employee vision health.
