"Good posture, good distancing, taking the appropriate breaks. The rule of thumb nowadays is the 20-20-20 rule, which is for every 20 minutes, you should take a 20-second break and look at something at least 20 feet away, and if that can be outside that's even better," he said.

There is no cure for colorblindness, but Wyomissing Optometric Center offers Enchroma prescription spectacle lenses that can aid in color saturation and can improve distinction between colors. Enchroma spectacle lenses filter and separate the signals of colors on the visible light spectrum and eliminates the wavelengths where red and green colors overlap. This provides better color perception and identification to a deficient patient.
Thank you, Veterans!
