NIXON Safety

It’s easy to think that eye safety only matters on construction sites or in factories, but office workers and remote employees face their own set of challenges.

You may not need to worry about EN166 though extended screen time can lead to Computer Vision Syndrome or dry eye syndrome, causing discomfort and potential long-term issues.

Here's how you can protect your eyes, even if you're behind a desk:

👁️ Take Frequent Breaks: Give your eyes a chance to readjust by following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
🖥️ Adjust Your Screen: Make sure your computer screen is positioned at eye level to reduce strain.
🚰 Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep over-the-counter eye drops handy to combat dryness.
🔍 Regular Eye Exams: Schedule an annual eye exam to catch any potential issues early.

Your vision is your most important tool, whether you're on-site or in the office.

Stay proactive about eye safety! 🖥️💼
