dry eyes, include tired, burning or itching eyes, blurred vision and/or headache.
To help reduce the effects, Prevent Blindness recommends:
Prevent Blindness also recently launched its Screen Time-Out awareness campaign, created to educate consumers on the effects of increased screen time, and encourage the public to introduce regular screen breaks into their daily routines. Shareable social media graphics are available to employers to post on their social media channels or include in company newsletters.
For those who work in other settings, such as construction or manufacturing, Prevent Blindness also provides information on the importance of eye protection. Eye and face protection must be provided whenever necessary to protect against chemical, mechanical, radiological or environmental irritants and hazards.
