Love Your Eyes, Protect Your Eyes!

More than 2,000 people injure their eyes at work every day — but with the right protection, most of these injuries could have been prevented or their severity lessened. Whatever your workday looks like, it’s important to protect your eyes.

Manual Labor or Industrial Work

When working around equipment or chemicals, wearing eye protection is essential. Safety glasses with impact-resistant lenses are necessary for jobs that present an eye safety risk. If chemicals are present, safety goggles should be worn. Check with your employer to see if safety glasses are covered under your vision plan.

Desk Jobs and Screen Work

If you spend most of your day in front of a computer, blue light and digital eye strain are real concerns. Symptoms include headaches, tired eyes, and blurred vision. Computer glasses with special lenses or coatings that filter blue light and reduce glare can significantly improve comfort. Ask your eye doctor about your options.

Parenting and Outdoor Activities

Time at the park or pool means UV light exposure for you and your children. UV rays can cause damage to the eyes and the delicate skin around them over time. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection and wide-brimmed hats offer meaningful protection.
