Good eyesight is an essential part of work ability, ergonomics and job satisfaction. Most work tasks challenge one's vision more than leisure activities. Unsuitable glasses or uncorrected eyesight issues put strain on the employee, resulting in a poor working posture, neck and shoulder issues, headaches and discomfort, among other things. Poor vision at work can reduce work efficiency, lower productivity and increase absences.
As a customer of Mehiläinen Working Life Services, you get access to various benefits related to Synsam’s services.
For more information about Synsam’s services, please contact your company’s occupational health nurse or your occupational health contact person.

"We have been very satisfied with the occupational ophthalmology cooperation with Synsam and Mehiläinen. A straightforward agreement was made on the cooperation, and the contractual occupational ophthalmology services are an efficient benefit for our employees. I consider it important that occupational health care and occupational ophthalmology services operate in a jointly agreed process. We have organised wellness days on our campuses, where Synsam’s eyesight check-up point has been one of the most popular stalls to visit. Mehiläinen’s and Synsam’s occupational ophthalmology webinars have offered an opportunity to gain knowledge about eyesight care."

"Our partnership with Synsam and Mehiläinen has enabled an easy and fast path for our employees to handle any vision-related issues. The steering chain from occupational health care to an eye examination and getting glasses is currently very straightforward. We have also invested in preventive and individual occupational well-being by organising events such as eyesight screening days on our campuses, where employees have been able to have their vision checked during the working day, receive guidance and tips from professionals and, if necessary, advice on how to access the best services for them. We are really pleased with the way we have developed our customer relationship with Synsam."
