👀 October is Eye Care Awareness Month 🧡

With so much of our time spent on phones, computers and TVs, eye strain has become part of daily life for many of us.

To protect your eyes and avoid headaches, try the 20-20-20 rule:
💻 After every 20 minutes on a screen,
➡️ Look at something 20 feet (6m) away,
⏱️ For at least 20 seconds.

Your eyes work hard for you every day, take a few seconds to give them a break. 💚
