Eye Health at the Workplace

Even minor eye problems can decrease productivity. Moreover, many of us struggle with computer vision syndrome, CVS, and the related eye strain, dry eyes, eye irritation, blurred vision and double vision. Also, some of us work in hazardous environments, with a higher risk of eye injury. This article gives you some tips for better eye health at the workplace.

Sleep and Vision

Getting adequate sleep is important for your overall health, but did you know that it’s also important for your vision? In fact, sleep and vision are closely connected, and sleep deprivation can have negative effects on your eyesight.

Why is Reading Difficult as We Become Older

As you become older, you may find reading difficult. In fact, you may also notice that you’re holding books and restaurant menus farther, to see clearly. This is a normal process of ageing: all of us face this struggle, and is due to changes within your eyes over time. This refractive error, or vision problem, is called presbyopia.

Contact Lenses for Children 

As a parent you must remember that contact lenses must be used with great caution in children, and only on advice of your eye doctor. Even infants may be prescribed contact lenses, if required. That said, most doctors prefer to prescribe contact lenses for children after they are twelve years or older. However, children above the age of eight may be eligible for contact lenses if they are responsible about hygiene.
