See Success Clearly with City Eyecare: Empowering your Journey to Workplace Eye Wellness
In support of Workplace Eye Wellness Month, designated by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), City Eye Care urges everyone to prioritize eye health on the job. Whether navigating office spaces or industrial settings, eye injuries can happen anytime, making it crucial to take preventive measures.
Discover four tips to safeguard your vision and promote optimal eye health at work:
Take Regular Breaks:
Prolonged screen time can lead to eye fatigue and strain. Combat this by taking breaks every 20 minutes, shifting your gaze away from the screen for at least 20 seconds. This simple habit replenishes eye moisture, reduces strain, and minimizes the risk of developing dry eyes.
Adjust Your Workstation:
Set up your workstation for eye comfort. Position your monitor at or slightly below eye level, adjust brightness and contrast, and minimize glare from windows or lights. Proper ergonomics reduce eye, neck, and shoulder strain, fostering better posture and comfort.
Wear Protective Eyewear:
Prioritize safety with appropriate eyewear if your work involves hazardous materials or tools. Protect your eyes from potential injuries, including abrasions, burns, or debris impact. Choose eyewear tailored to your job's hazards and follow maintenance instructions for optimal protection.
Get Regular Eye Exams:
Routine eye exams are essential for workplace eye health. Schedule regular appointments with City Eye Care to detect and address potential issues early. Especially crucial for those spending extended hours in front of screens, regular eye check-ups can prevent complications such as eye strain or vision loss.
Elevate your eye health every day. Book an appointment with City Eye Care to guarantee your eyes receive the attention they rightly deserve, beyond just the workplace. Your vision, our commitment – because every day deserves clear, healthy sight.
