Mobile Vision Clinics
Eye care brought to the worksite
We're planning mobile vision clinics for employers, so workers can get assessments, eyewear fitting and referrals without losing a shift to travel.
Why workers miss eye care
The barriers are practical, not a lack of interest. When getting an eye exam costs a worker a shift, a long drive or a day's pay, it gets put off, and prescriptions and eyewear fall behind the job.
- Shift work: rotations rarely line up with clinic hours.
- Remote facilities: sites can be hours from the nearest clinic.
- Travel: time off site for a short appointment.
- Scheduling: coordinating many workers one by one.
- Productivity: crews short-handed while people are away.
How employer programs would work
From consultation to employer reporting
A proposed workflow. Pilots will help us refine it.
Employer consultation
Your sites, workforce, shift patterns and goals.
Program design
Services, eligibility and scheduling approach agreed.
Employee scheduling
Appointments built around rotations, not the other way round.
Clinic deployment
The mobile clinic sets up on or near site.
Vision assessments
Delivered by licensed eye-care professionals.
Eyewear or referral
Safety eyewear fitting, or referral for further care.
Employer reporting
Participation and program records, with no personal health details.
Where mobile clinics could go
Designed for sites that are hard to leave
Planned capabilities
What we intend mobile clinics to offer
Final scope depends on the licensed professionals and equipment in place at launch. We'll publish the confirmed service list before any clinic operates.
- Vision assessments delivered by licensed eye-care professionals
- Prescription safety eyewear selection and fitting
- Visual ergonomics guidance for screen and cab work
- Referral coordination for follow-up care
- Scheduling and records managed by VPI's own operations platform
Are VPI mobile clinics operating now?
No. Mobile vision clinics are planned. We're inviting employers to register interest and help shape pilot programs.
Who would deliver clinical services?
Licensed eye-care professionals. We'll publish who delivers services, and where, before any clinic operates.
Where would mobile clinics operate?
We're based in Leduc, in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, and expect early service to focus on Alberta. The model is designed to extend to other provinces.
Register interest in a mobile clinic pilot
Tell us about your sites and workforce. Registering interest is not a booking. It helps us plan where and how pilots will run.
