Eyewear prescription service

The new service offers a range of prescription models and styles including single-vision, bifocal and varifocal options. It also includes a new Riley Online Ordering (ROO) portal enabling safety managers to stay fully in control of all workers’ safety prescription requirements. 

All models come with Vision Ease impact and scratch resistant polycarbonate lenses as standard, certified to EN166 Grade F. The company says this makes them ten times more impact resistant than plastic or glass lenses whilst also offering 100% protection against UV such as sunlight.  

The bifocal and varifocal options are created using state-of-the-art Digital Inner Surface Technology, which results in heightened optical quality and enhanced vision and comfort for the wearer.

Wearers benefit from well-fitting, comfortable eyewear which protects them from hazards in accordance with EN166, and enables them to wear prescription lenses without having to wear an additional safety goggle over the top.

Backing up the range is the new easy to use Riley® Online Ordering (ROO) portal which allows safety managers to: 

•  Manage all workforce prescription orders from one place, regardless of how many sites they are responsible for

•  Authorise colleagues to place orders easily and add or upload employee data into the system, check status of individual orders at a glance, run reports and download to MS Excel 

•  Manage re-orders with ease

•  Receive alerts when re-tests are advisable 

“The Riley RX prescription eyewear service brings a wealth of benefits to safety managers across the UK and Ireland. With an estimated 59% of adults requiring eyewear with a prescription lens, that equates to many thousands of workers needing prescription safety eyewear,” said Steve Shale, Globus Group marketing manager.

“Having our UK-based manufacturing and service facility means we are in total control of the prescription eyewear process, which means quality and performance are delivered quickly and efficiently. 

“All Riley RX lenses are expertly manufactured in-house by highly experienced optical technicians in facilities certified to ISO 9000 and with the addition of the new on-line ordering system, the Riley RX service is designed to provide a simple, seamless offer that meets the safety and optical needs of workers requiring prescription eyewear,” added Steve.
