We recently did an inventory at our office. While entering the data, we found a particular section where the numbers starting to look funky. We looked over the data and noticed what appears to be an eyesight problem (employee wrote 827 but it was 857, etc.). The employee in question is a 50 year old spanish woman who doesn't wear reading glasses. She is a very reliable employee that I'd like to keep around but her normal position does deal with small parts and I'm starting to worry what other problems might be occuring that we are unaware of.

How do I handle this?

My recommendation would be to talk to her about accuracy and performance. Let her bring up any eye issue. Avoid introducing that yourself and focus strictly on performance.

I agree. I would speak with her regarding the inaccuracy and maybe ask if she has had any issues lately that would be affecting her performance. Maybe she will open up to you and go to the eye doctor.
