Healthy Vision Month

Did you know more than 104 million working-age Americans spend over seven hours a day in front of screens? And over 31 million people surveyed who were exposed to excessive screen time had not seen an optometrist in the past year. Your vision is priceless — here are a few ways to protect it.

Protect Your Eyes

• Get an annual eye exam. Regular exams with your eye doctor are the most important step you can take for long-term vision health.
• Wear UV-blocking sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from sun damage year-round.
• Limit screen exposure. Reduce eye strain by giving your eyes a break throughout the day — follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
• Eat a nutrient-rich diet that includes foods high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and lutein to support long-term eye health.
