March is recognized as Workplace Eye Wellness Month, aimed at reducing the thousands of daily eye injuries and digital strain caused by work environments. Organized by Prevent Blindness and other groups, it focuses on promoting eye safety, encouraging proper, regular eye exams, and implementing ergonomic habits to protect long-term vision.

Key practices for workplace eye health include:
• Preventing Digital Strain: Use the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
• Ergonomics: Position screens 18–25 inches away, slightly below eye level.
• Safety Gear: Wear appropriate protective eyewear for high-risk jobs to prevent injuries from chemicals, dust, or flying objects.
• Eye Care: Schedule regular comprehensive eye exams and use artificial tears for dry eye relief.

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, a yearly campaign to educate the public about glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness often called the "sneak thief of sight" because it typically has no early symptoms, highlighting the critical need for regular dilated eye exams for early detection and treatment to preserve vision.

Key Facts About Glaucoma:
• Silent Progression: Often no warning signs until vision loss occurs. 
• Leading Cause: A top cause of irreversible blindness. 
• Early Detection is Key: Comprehensive dilated eye exams are the only way to catch it early. 
• No Cure, But Manageable: Early treatment with drops, laser, or surgery can stop vision loss. 
Who's at Higher Risk? 
• People over 60.
• Those with a family history of glaucoma.
• Individuals of African American, Hispanic, or Asian descent.
• People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe nearsightedness.
How to Participate:
• Schedule an Eye Exam: Get a comprehensive dilated eye exam, especially if you're at high risk. 
• Spread Awareness: Learn the facts and share them with family and friends. 
• Wear Green: The green ribbon symbolizes glaucoma awareness.
