Preventing eye strain
If you're like the millions of people who spend numerous hours every day looking at a computer screen, you've likely experienced some level of eye strain. The Mayo Clinic describes eye strain as a tiredness of the eyes from overuse. This can be a result of long stretches of driving or reading, but one of the primary causes of eye strain is working in front of a computer. In fact, this condition is so common that it has its own name – “computer vision syndrome.” In order to protect your eyes from extensive strain, researchers at Northwestern Health Sciences University recommend that you follow these suggestions:
- Place your screen 20 to 26 inches away from your eyes, with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level. You should not have to lean your head or neck to see the screen. If you have to, adjust the text size so you don't have to sit so close to the monitor.
- Take a break every 20 minutes and look at an object in the distance to relax your eye muscles.
- Blink regularly and keep your eyes moisturized. If you can't relieve your dry eyes naturally, use eye drops.
- If possible, alternate between computer and non-computer tasks so you aren't looking at the screen for such long periods of time.
- Reduce glare by adjusting the lighting in the room or the windows.
- Get your eyes examined by an eye doctor. Your doctor will be able to help you figure out what you need to do to individually protect your eyes. It's possible you need an updated prescription, so be sure to ask questions and talk to your doctor about specific ways you can keep your vision strong at home and at work. With your True Care membership, you will be able to make vision care an affordable priority that will last you well into your career.

"I finally found something that really helps! The first week I received the Advantage Card, I saved $418 on Dental expenses. That was money I would have had to pay out of my own pocket."
- J. Britt, Orlando, FL
"I just want to say thanks for having this service for those that cannot afford dental insurance. I have noticed the savings since the very first time I used it, and I've never even heard of Discount Dental Plans before. I was so pleased with the company I called in to see what other programs they offer and signed up for coverage on Medical and Chiropractic as well!"
-Kevin, Philadelphia, PA
"The free prescription drug card is such an added bonus. I'm on a maintenance drug that used to cost me $107.67 every three months. After receiving my free discount drug card it now costs just $43.42. This is an annual saving of $257, which is even more than the entire plan cost. What a great free bonus to go along with my dental plan."
-Hassan, Sacramento, CA
