March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month
Whether you’re dodging physical hazards on a construction site or battling screen fatigue in a home office, your vision is critical. March is a time to consider eye hazards at work.
Digital Eye Strain is a group of symptoms experienced when using computers or other digital devices for long periods of time. Symptoms may include dry eyes, irritated eyes, blurred or double vision, tearing or watery eyes, and headache.
Also, wearing the proper eye protection at work is important for keeping eyes safe at job sites.
Nearly 2,000 U.S. workers sustain a job-related eye injury every day. While we often think of construction sites or labs, about 40% of injuries occur in offices, healthcare facilities, and retail environments.
