This month’s wellness focus is on our eyes. We’ve all got ‘em and taking care of them is important! Digital eye strain and fatigue are REAL when you spend your workday (and beyond) looking at screens. Some call it Computer Vision Syndrome while others refer to it as FryEye… whatever the name, we could all use some relief.
Here are some easy tips for keeping your eyes healthy.
- Follow the 20-20-20- Rule (this one is a biggie that eye docs always mention)
- Set your screens to Dark Mode (Chrome, apps & devices, PC)
- Optimize your workspace with computer ergonomics for healthy vision
Blue light glasses are another option to have in your toolkit. Even if you don’t have a prescription, you can get glasses that are straight up blue-light-fighting ninjas. They can also help with other screen related symptoms like headaches, trouble sleeping, and blurred vision. When it comes to purchasing blue light glasses, guess what… there are B Corps for that!
- Bird – Not sure what looks best on you? Use the home try-on.
- Warby Parker – They have an amazing Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.
- Parafina – These glasses are made from recycled materials.
Cheers!
