Boots Opticians ‘Business Class’We know that only a small number of people would benefit from glasses just for use at the computer, but that many more are, or should be, wearing glasses for activities such as reading, watching TV or driving, and we want to help them out with the cost of their eyecare too. That’s why we’ve launched our ‘Business Class’ employee benefits scheme. Simply because your company is a member of the Boots Opticians corporate eyecare scheme, your employees and their family will be able to make big savings on the cost of their eyecare.

What does this mean for your company?The welfare of your employees’ eyesight is your responsibility. The Boots Opticians corporate eyecare scheme can ensure that your legal requirements are met, whilst offering a benefit that many employees value highly as part of their employee benefits scheme.

Your company is obliged to provide the following for employees who regularly use display screens at work or need safety glasses in their work:

• A full eye examination from a qualified Optometrist

• Subsequent eye examinations at regular intervals as specified by the examining Optometrist

• Basic glasses if they’re found necessary for VDU work

• Safety glasses if they’re found necessary for the work undertaken

For your drivers, providing a regular eye examination will help to ensure that they’re driving legally and protect them from potential prosecution or injury. Your company could also make big savings on damage caused to company vehicles because of poor eyesight.

Boots Opticians – corporate eyecare to feel good aboutAt Boots Opticians, we know that you need a simple way to provide eyecare to your employees. We want to make life easy and help you to control costs, whilst offering your employees the very best eyecare available.

Why does your company need corporate eyecare?The 1992 Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) regulations were introduced to improve conditions for all employees who work with visual display units (VDUs) or who need safety glasses in their work.

If your company employs people to drive for their work, whether company car or delivery vehicle, under the ‘Corporate Manslaughter’ bill, you have a duty of care to ensure that they are safe to drive and that they meet the strict requirements of the Highway Code and relevant road traffic laws relating to eyesight and the Health and Safety Act 1974.

Our scheme is so easy to use, with nothing to pay upfront – no joining fees, no administration costs and no vouchers to buy in advance.

The Boots Opticians corporate eyecare scheme provides an extensive range of prescription eye protections suitable for all working environments.

We have a comprehensive range of safety eyewear to ensure the correct fit and therefore the safety of your employees’ eyes. We offer two ranges of safety eyewear, both of which are CE approved to EN166.

In order to establish the best type of safety glasses for your employees, you should conduct a risk assessment of your working environment. This should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that you are offering the best possible eye protection for your people.

Eye examinationWe can provide a complete eye examination for all of your safety eyewear users. We would recommend that an eye examination is carried out at the time of ordering safety glasses, so that we can be sure that the prescription is as accurate as possible and therefore ensuring the safety of the wearer and negating the need for the glasses to be replaced sooner than necessary due to a change in prescription.

For the Boots safety range, we can carry out a full eye examination for £15, a saving of at least 25% on our normal fee.

Lens typesSafety eyewear can be provided with 3 different lens materials – CR39, Polycarbonate or Toughened Glass.

CR39 – provides a lightweight lens option that is suitable for working environments where the risk to eyesight comes from light objects travelling at low speed, such as cardboard packaging.

Polycarbonate – provides a very lightweight lens that is tough and durable and able to cope with most situations in which safety glasses are needed.

Toughened Glass – heavyweight and unsuitable if being worn for long periods of time. Recommended in situations where plastic lenses wouldn’t be suitable, for example if likely to come into contact with chemicals.

Frame typesThe most important consideration of any safety frame is the fit, which is why we offer a sample of most of our safety glasses to be tried on in store before ordering, and a complete measurement and fitting service before your employee starts using their new safety glasses.

The Bollé range offers the very latest in safety, style and technology. Their range includes very lightweight, stylish frames that your employees will find very wearable and that will stand up to the toughest of tests.

Many companies are introducing a driver’s eyecare scheme, making sure they have regular eye examinations and wear appropriate eyewear to help make them safer on the roads.

Boots Opticians can help you implementand launch such a scheme, easily and verycost effectively.

The cost of providing a scheme to your drivers can quite often be quickly recovered through a reduction in insurance claims and by providing a driver’s scheme you may even be able to reduce your insurance costs.

Your employee is able to choose from dozens of frames from our own brand complete price range up to and including our £79 range.
