Work demands more of our eyes
With video conferencing and other digital work being the new normal, many are focusing on screens more than ever. It’s important to keep your eye health at the forefront.
Tips for giving your eyes a break
Whether you’re working from the kitchen table or from your office, these eight tips
can help you give your eyes a rest during screen-intensive work.

Remember to blink
Check screen distance
Adjust text size, screen contrast & lighting
Black print on a white background is usually the best combination. And your display should have about the same brightness as your surroundings.

#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.
WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care professional for more information.
Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye care professional. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness, or any other eye problems. If any eye problems occur, remove the lens and contact your eye care professional immediately. For more information on proper wear, care, and safety, talk to your eye care professional or download the Patient Instruction Guides.
