We have an eye specialist who conducts basic occupational eye exam for Safeguard Inspectors (OEW Surveillance).

The appointments are done as part of the annual surveillance exam.

More in depth eye exams have to be done with your own private ophthalmologist. An eye pressure test is not offered at the VMS but highly recommended 1 x year after the age 40 and for those with high risk factors after the age 35.
