Workplace eye
injuries are more common than many people realize yet most are preventable with
simple, practical precautions. Wearing appropriate eye protection in
environments where debris, chemicals, or projectiles are present can
dramatically reduce the risk of serious injury. Taking these steps protects not
only workers’ vision, but also saves valuable time, reduces lost productivity,
and lowers costs for employers.
Eye safety
isn’t limited to industrial settings. If you work from home or in an office,
extended screen time can lead to digital eye strain and dry eye symptoms.
Blurred vision, headaches, burning, or watery eyes are often signs that your
eyes need a break. Simple habits such as following the 20-20-20 rule (every
20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), adjusting screen height and
lighting, and using artificial tears when appropriate can make a meaningful
difference.
