March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month

Prevent Blindness – the oldest eye health and safety non-profit in America – designates March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month. In 2021, the organization would like to focus on digital eye strain.

Amid a global pandemic, most Americans use their digital devices – smartphones, tablets, and computers – more frequently and for longer durations. Symptoms of digital eye strain include burning eyes, itching eyes, dry eyes, blurred vision, and headache.

Prevent Blindness has launched the Screen Time-Out awareness campaign. The initiative encourages us to schedule regular breaks throughout the day from our devices.

Please contact SDCB to learn more about our vision rehabilitation programs and services.
