Did you know that modern work-life demands an average of 5.3 hours per day in front of a computer screen for employees? This prolonged screen exposure can have adverse effects on employees and the businesses they work for.
That’s why, this Workplace Eye Wellness Month, we’re sharing some eye-care tips employers can implement in your place of work:
1️⃣ Encourage breaks - Let your team take regular screen breaks or try the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds). It's a game-changer for reducing eye strain.
2️⃣ Educate and raise awareness - Share info about the importance of eye care, symptoms of vision strain, and how to prevent it. Uncorrected vision issues can lead to headaches, absenteeism, errors, and a 20% dip in productivity.
3️⃣ Consider vision insurance - Routine eye exams are crucial for eye health. Offering vision insurance to your team can set you apart from the competition and retain top talent. In fact, 40% of employers say employees left for better benefits.
