PROTECT YOUR VISION IN TODAY’S TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD
Fifty-eight percent of American adults report experiencing eye strain or vision problems as the direct result of using technology including computers/tablets, smartphones, and digital devices. Prolonged use of technology puts users at risk for Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), which occurs when a person experiences vision and eye health problems related to near work when using digital devices. CVS can cause eye strain, dry eye, headaches, aches, and fatigue. With the increasing and extended use of technology by younger users, CVS may appear earlier than in previous generations.
Special Olympics is Looking for Volunteers
Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) is again offering free health screenings at the Special Olympics Wisconsin State Summer Games in Whitewater on Friday June 7, 2024. Opening Eyes is one of four health screenings being offered, providing vision assessments to SOWI athletes. Athletes in need of prescription glasses receive dress and/or sport/swim goggles, which are mailed to their local program manager about 3 months after the event. Athletes that do not require prescription glasses receive designer sun glasses when exiting the venue.
