March is Workplace Eye Wellness Awareness Month. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has outlined a list of key practices that desk-sitting professionals should build into their daily routines and work-at-home environments to prevent the ill effects of digital eye strain. Prevention is additionally critical for professionals whose jobs are at higher-risk worksites, where avoidable accidents can cause permanent damage to vision, even blindness, when protective eyewear is not worn.

Colorectal cancer, or CRC, is the second deadliest cancer in the United States. Every March, National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month spotlights this disease and inspires more people to get checked starting at age 45.
