The American Optometric Association designates March as Save Your Vision Month -- an annual campaign designed to remind Americans how important good vision and healthy eyes are.
One of the biggest factors in maintaining healthy eyes and good vision is getting regular Dallas eye exams. Catching and treating eye problems early is vital to saving your vision in the long-term.
For Save Your Vision Month, the AOA offers a few tips about healthy vision at the computer for people who sit in front of a computer screen for long periods of time -- which probably applies to many of us in this digital age!
1. Make sure you have the correct prescription contact lenses or eyeglasses
2. Wear glasses designed to function comfortably at the computer
3. Use a humidifier/artificial tears to prevent dry eye issues
4. Position computer monitor 20-26 inches from your eyes
5. Keep monitor free of fingerprints and dust (can reduce clarity)
