Another important vision issue is age-related macular degeneration (AMD/ARMD); however, there are supplements containing zinc, selenium and lutein that seem to have helped some people overcome, or at least slow, AMD. These same supplements might also help eye health in younger adults. Besides prescription meds to aid eye health, there are doctors who practice homeopathic care.

Because so many of us spend at least eight hours a day or more in front of a computer, eye dryness and fatigue are real problems. And because March has been designated as Workplace Eye Health and Safety Month, thought it might be timely to pass along a few tips from Prevent Blindness America for keeping our eyes healthy.

Place your screen 20 to 26 inches away from your eyes and a little bit below eye level.

Use a document holder placed next to your computer screen. It should be close enough so you don’t have to swing your head back and forth or constantly change your eye focus.
