Visual Acuity

At Integrated Occupational Health Services, we provide Visual Acuity testing in promoting the visual health and well-being of employees, ensuring that they have optimal vision for their job requirements.

Visual Acuity testing involves the assessment of an individual’s ability to see and identify objects at a specific distance. It measures the clarity and sharpness of vision, allowing for the detection of potential vision problems or any changes in visual acuity.

During the Visual Acuity test, employees are asked to read letters or symbols on an eye chart placed at a specific distance. The size and spacing of these letters gradually decrease, allowing the tester to determine the smallest and most precise level of detail an individual can see clearly. The results are typically expressed as a fraction, with 20/20 representing normal vision.

By implementing Visual Acuity testing, employers can ensure that their employees have the necessary visual acuity to perform their job safely and effectively. This is particularly critical for jobs that require precise visual tasks, such as driving, operating machinery, or working with small components. Detecting and addressing vision problems through regular testing can reduce the risk of accidents, enhance productivity, and improve overall job performance.
