Expressing support for the goals of Workplace Eye Wellness Month by promoting the importance of protecting the eyes from increased screen time.
HRES 264 is a symbolic resolution recognizing March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month and promoting awareness about protecting eyes from digital eye strain caused by prolonged screen use. It encourages employers and employees to follow specific eye protection practices, such as taking regular breaks, maintaining proper screen distance (about 30 inches), and using appropriate protective eyewear. The resolution cites rising digital eye strain symptoms - like dry eyes and headaches - and references existing OSHA workplace safety standards. As a non-binding expression of support, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about eye health in work environments.
