Through multiple initiatives, UnitedHealthcare is working to
help limit excessive exposure to blue light, which could help
reduce the prevalence of digital eye strain among children and
adults, a growing concern given people spend an average of 13 hours
per day on digital devices.1 Key efforts include:
- A discount of up to 20% on Dell XPS laptops with embedded
blue-light-blocking properties from Eyesafe®. UnitedHealthcare
Vision members are also eligible for a comparable discount
onEyesafe Blue Light Screen Filters to retrofit existing
smartphones, tablets, laptops and computer monitors. Available to
more than 23 million UnitedHealthcare Vision members nationwide,
both discount programs are designed to help reduce exposure to
high-energy blue light for people purchasing new laptops or
retrofitting existing digital devices. Eligible UnitedHealthcare
members will be notified about the Dell Technologies discount via
email or will soon be able to access more information by logging
into myuhcvision.com. To obtain the screen filter discount,
UnitedHealthcare Vision members can go to eyesafe.com/filters and
use the provided promo code at checkout.
- Donations of $20,000 per school district to help meet the
technology needs of their students, plus screen protectors to help
reduce students’ exposure to blue light for students. The
following school districts will each receive a $20,000 donation to
help meet the educational needs of their students: Cleveland Metro
School District (OH), Roanoke City Public Schools (VA), Fort Bend
Independent School District (TX), Minneapolis Public Schools (MN),
and The School District of Palm Beach County (FL). The school
districts will each be eligible to also receive a donation of 1,000
screen filters from Eyesafe to retrofit existing digital devices to
help reduce exposure to blue light, which is especially important
given children’s still-developing eyes.2
“Digital eye strain due in part to increased screen time is
becoming a more significant issue for many Americans, including
professionals working remotely and students using laptops or
tablets as part of course curriculum,” said John Ryan, CEO,
UnitedHealthcare Vision. “We are taking a comprehensive approach to
help our more than 23 million vision members and people across the
country reduce their exposure to blue light, enhancing our
whole-person approach to health benefits and vision care.”
"XPS is all about groundbreaking innovations,” said Donnie
Oliphant, senior director of XPS Product Management, Dell
Technologies. “We chartered a path in 2019 to make all XPS
notebooks integrated with Eyesafe technology, and through this new
collaboration we’re able to put our most award-winning personal
computer in the hands of UnitedHealthcare Vision members to help
reduce blue light exposure.”
