      Eyecare Health Tip
      Attention Computer geeks!
      Give your eyes a rest. If you spend a lot of time using a computer, you can forget to blink and your eyes
      can get tired. To reduce eyestrain, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in
      front of you for 20 seconds.                                                                                              3
