March is "Save Your Vision" Month.
The average American worker spends about seven hours a day on the computer. If you have dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, or other symptoms, you could have a condition called Computer Vision Syndrome, also referred to as digital eye strain.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule to ease the discomfort: take a 20-second break, to view something 20 feet away, every 20 minutes.
If this doesn't work, take an extended break, or contact your optometry/ophthalmology clinic for an eye exam.
