NEW YORK—Healthy Eyes Working for You is a new education program from Transitions which aims to increase awareness of the value of vision benefits through education. Transitions Optical said the new website that aims to increase awareness of the importance of regular eye exams and premium eyewear option is available through a comprehensive vision benefit.

With sections of information geared to professionals and brokers and also to employees and consumers, the site allows visitors to enter one of two portals—one for HR professionals and brokers, and the other for employees—to access a toolkit of customized resources. It provides a wide range of information, educational resources and quantitative tools to reinforce the value of offering—or enrolling in—a premium vision plan.
