BCDO Recommendations
BC Doctors of Optometry recommend British Columbians take proper care and be eye aware during COVID-19. This includes being vigilant with proper handwashing practices as an additional defense against COVID-19. Viruses can enter our bodies through mucous membranes including our mouths, nasal passages and eyes.
If possible, manage and limit your screen time, as students and employees working from home are exposed to laptops, smartphones and tablets throughout the day. We recommend incorporating visual breaks, good lighting and practice good working distance from screens to reduce eye strain. Frequent breaks and conscious blinking may also help reduce eye strain and dry eyes.
