Approximately 2000 job-related eye injuries happen every day that require medical treatment.
However, according to safety experts and eye doctors, the right eye protection can lessen the severity or even prevent 90% of these eye injuries. (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health).
July is Healthy Vision Month
Too much sun exposure over the years can lead to cataracts and macular degeneration. UV-blocking sunglasses help prevent this cumulative sun damage over time.
Wear the proper safety goggles or protective eyewear matched to the specific job or task to avoid eye injuries. As JASPER, even passing through the production floor requires safety glasses!
See an eye care professional for a dilated eye exam every 1-2 years. Early detection is crucial for preventing vision loss.
Rest your Eyes from Digital Strain
Any time you can, it’s important to give your eyes time to rest away from screens. Resting your eyes can help prevent and even treat digital eye strain, dry eyes, blurry vision, tearing or watery eyes, headaches, eye discomfort and fatigue.
When you are starting at a screen, try to make a conscious effort to blink more often. This will help keep your eyes lubricated.
You can also adjust your workspace, such as changing the height and position of your chair, your desk or the lighting of the room.
