Workplace Eye Awareness Month
March is workplace eye wellness month. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2012, there were 20,300 recorded occupational eye injuries that resulted in days away from work. Therefore, it is very important to use eye protection in the workplace, especially in industries such as construction, manufacturing, or any profession where eye accidents and injuries may occur.
Additionally, the use of digital devices, including personal computers, tablets and cell phones, continues to increase. The impact of prolonged usage can often be felt in the eye. In fact, because of extended use of these devices, close to 70 percent of American adults experience some form of digital eyestrain. Consider taking a 20-20-20 break when using digital screens: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
