With the new JCB range
of prescription safety glasses proving a huge success, Specsavers Corporate
Eyecare has added four new exciting frame options to the collection.
Styled to reflect a
modern, tough, sporty look that is so popular in sunglasses designs at the
moment, the new frames are hard to equate with traditional safety glasses.
With the new JCB range
of prescription safety glasses proving a huge success, Specsavers Corporate
Eyecare has added four new exciting frame options to the collection.
Styled to reflect a
modern, tough, sporty look that is so popular in sunglasses designs at the
moment, the new frames are hard to equate with traditional safety glasses.
Jim Lythgow, director
of strategic alliances at Specsavers Corporate Eyecare said: ‘The words
“exciting” and “safety glasses” are not often used in the same sentence but the
JCB range really does bring a new aspect to prescription safety eyewear. Known
globally, JCB’s brand is synonymous with quality, safety and durability. These attributes
are reflected in our range of JCB safety glasses and the styling reflects an
understanding that aesthetics are as important as comfort and fit, if safety glasses
are to actually be worn.’
The frames are suitable
for various industrial settings and the lenses come in glass, plastic and
polycarbonate. Each lens has undergone a variety of safety tests and the
frames all have side
shields featuring JCB branding.
Jim Lythgow continued:
‘Employers have been incredibly enthusiastic about this range, we dispensed an
unprecedented 16,000 JCB safety glasses in the first three months of them being
made available. They’re seriously shaking up the safety frame market and we
predict that these new additions to the range will prove equally popular.’
Paul Tudor, senior licensing
manager for JCB, said: ‘Working with Specsavers, we believe we have created a
range of prescription safety glasses that people will be proud to wear. Like
our own plant machinery, they are robust and hard-working, but also visually
appealing, with the newest styles added to the range being particularly modern
in terms of shape and colour.’
A total
of 24 JCB frames are now available, offering a huge variety of options, from
diverse designs and styles, to greater colour combinations, and different frame
sizes, in men’s, women’s and unisex designs. All can be purchased by the
employer under Specsavers Corporate Eyecare’s eVoucher system, making them
easily available to all employees.

Employers have
responsibilities to employees regarding all ‘at work’ activities. With the
summer finally seeming to have started in earnest, Specsavers Corporate Eyecare
is encouraging employers to consider eye care as part of their sun protection
policy.
89%
of employees value eye care, but employers spend less time communicating it
than other benefits
New
research from Specsavers Corporate Eyecare shows how employers and employees value
eye care as an employee benefit.
Specsavers Corporate
Eyecare has held two health and wellbeing fairs for one of its customers,
Registers of Scotland.
Registers of
Scotland is the non-ministerial government department responsible for compiling
and maintaining 18 public registers. These relate to land, property, and other
legal documents. Specsavers provides enhanced eyecare for the public-sector
organisation’s screen users and works with the organisation to promote the
wider benefits of eyecare to employees.
