Transitions releases education kit for ECPs to use with patients
October 29, 2010Transitions Healthy Sight Calculator (www.HealthySightWorkingForYou.org/calculator) is a public tool that calculates the potential cost avoidance of vision problems, eye diseases and related systemic diseases — including diabetes — for a specific workforce, if employees actively use their premium vision benefit.
The tool also provides education about the impact of diabetes on the eye, and the importance of comprehensive eye exams and vision wear options through a premium vision benefit, making the Healthy Sight Calculator a great tool to help eye care professionals reach out to local employers about eye care as a means to disease prevention and management for employees.
The calculator is just one of the education tools available from Transitions Healthy Sight Working for You, an education initiative focused on informing employers and employees about the importance of eye care and eyewear. It includes a portal for eye care professionals, with additional tools they can use to reach employers, including the Vision Education Kit.
