I started wearing glasses in the second grade.

The frames were pink and made of plastic, and they had the tiniest image of Bugs Bunny, embossed in silver, on the arm.

I remember seeing the world for the first time when I put them on.

You know, really seeing the world.

I loved those glasses for their ability to help me see things in the distance, but as I got older, I hated them.

Alas, my vision was getting worse, and “Coke bottle” glasses would just never be fashionable.

At age 12, I was fitted for contact lenses and never looked back (pun intended)!

Flash forward to earlier this year when I learned about blue-light blocking glasses. They’re meant to filter the light that our devices emit, and, as I spend hours every day in front of a device, I was intrigued.

The jury is out if wearing my “blue blockers” will provide any benefit in the long-term, but I’m willing to take the chance.

Self-care may be a massage or an extra hour of sleep - but can also be putting glasses like these on before you sit down at your screen. How are you preserving your physical health while at work? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
