Did you know more than 104 million working-age Americans spend over seven hours a day in front of screens? And over 31 million people who were exposed to excessive screen time have not seen an optometrist in the past year.

Your vision is priceless. Here are a few ways to protect your eyes:

• Get an annual eye exam with your eye doctor to monitor your vision and eye health.
• Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB blocking lenses to protect your eyes from sun damage.
• Limit screen exposure to reduce eye strain by giving your eyes a break throughout the day.
• Eat nutrient-rich foods that support eye health, such as those high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and lutein.
