This principle states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.

March Is Workplace Eye Awareness Month

March is Workplace Eye Awareness Month and eye health awareness in the workplace is more important than ever. As employees spend more and more time in front of their screens, it's essential to understand how digital eye strain can affect our vision.

Prolonged exposure to blue light coming from screens can cause eye strain, fatigue, and a range of other eye-related issues such as blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches.

As the winter season hits full tilt, it's important to remember that eye protection is just as important in the cold months as it is during the summer.
