As
countries celebrate World Sight Day today, eye experts have advised employees
to protect their eye health at work.
Speaking to the media at Mengo Hospital, Dr. Dan Bwonya, an
eye specialist said with the increase in digital and screen-based work
environments, the relevance of maintaining good eye health has never been more
pronounced, yet it is very crucial to avoid future blindness.
He said eye-related issues can have a profound impact on
productivity and the overall well-being of a person. He advised that every 20
minutes, those using computers for long hours should look at something 20 feet
away for 20 seconds.
He also advised on making adjustments on computer screens,
using proper lighting, minimizing glare, blinking often, and wearing glasses.
Meanwhile, Dr. Lisbon Aliraki advised the public to always go
for eye check-ups at least once a year for adults and twice for children. The
World Sight Day has been commemorated under the theme; “’Love your eye at
work’’.
