A new survey has found that younger employees are significantly less likely to enroll in vision benefits plans or understand the importance of eye exams. The Transitions Optical Employee Perceptions of Vision Benefits survey, conducted among 1,300 employees, reveals that 84% of Baby Boomers, 80% of Gen X and 75% of Millennials report that they are enrolled in their company’s vision plan. But just 50% of Gen Z employees reported they are enrolled.
Meanwhile, members of Gen Z were less likely to believe that it’s important to schedule regular, comprehensive eye exams with an eyecare professional. Two-thirds (67%) of all employees believe exams are important, but only 60% of Gen Z do.
