    • Regular (dress) eyewear does not meet these standards
    • Included in the program is a complete eye health and vision assessment performed with special attention to the specific occupational needs of each employee
    • Clients are individually fit by optometrists, ensuring their eyewear fits comfortably and securely
    • Dispensing eyewear is the particular expertise of Eyesafe; our dispensers are uniquely qualified to ensure lenses are manufactured to exact ophthalmic and safety standards based on a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s ocular health
