March is National Save Your Vision Month, and the American Optometric Association has information to keep your eyes healthy all year long. 

This annual observance is dedicated to promoting the significance of regular eye check-ups, understanding the risks of digital eye strain, and adopting habits that ensure optimal eye health.

Tips to prioritize vision include booking an eye exam. Regular check-ups are vital for the longevity of your vision. Try to limit screen time. In the digital age, reducing screen time can help alleviate eye strain. A good rule to remember is the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and focus on something 20 feet away. 

It is always a good idea to wear protective eyewear. Whether playing sports or doing handiwork, ensure your eyes are protected from potential hazards. 

National Save Your Vision Month was created by the American Optometric Association, which saw the need to educate the public about the importance of regular eye examinations and proper vision care.
