HOW DO GUNNARS HELP MY COMPANY?

Answer:

Improve Worker VisionGUNNARS relieve the symptoms of digital eye fatigue and computer vision syndrome.  In a multi-week test at three separate doctor locations, over 100 patients were interviewed before and after wearing GUNNARS.  96% percent of the test subjects reported a reduction in eyestrain associated with computer use.

A separate study conducted at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, found the following:

  • A direct correlation between proper vision correction and productivity. The more complex or repetitive the computer task, the more evident the relationship.
  • A direct correlation between proper vision correction and the time required for a computer worker to perform a task. Computer-related tasks took much longer when the subjects wore glasses with less than the optimum correction.
  • Reduced productivity even among computer users who were unaware they had vision problems. Computer users with small refractive errors may not notice any vision discomfort. But without proper vision correction, their performance on a specific task can suffer significantly — by as much as 20 percent.

Paying attention to worker vision can yield quick gains  in worker productivity and accuracy, ultimately benefiting your bottom line.
