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, have not seen an optometrist in the past year.
Your vision is priceless. Here are a few ways to protect your eyes:
- Getting an annual eye exam with your eye doctor.
- Wearing sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB blocking lenses to protect your eyes from sun damage.
- Limiting screen exposure will reduce eye strain by giving your eyes a break throughout the day.
- Eating nutrient-rich foods that support eye health, such as those high in vitamin A, vitamin C and lutein.
When was the last time you thought about your eye health?
Healthy eyes mean a healthier you. Take charge of your sight and build habits that protect your eyes for years to come.
