CPS Optix understands the risks of what can happen when you don't protect your eyes, especially working such jobs as nursing, construction, office work, auto repair, plumbing, and many other jobs that require safety eyewear.
There are more eye injuries on the job than you would expect. 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment *
Protective eyewear for your eyes helps to avoid chemicals, infectious diseases, and more that can spread to your eyes.
* Workers experience eye injuries on the job for two major reasons:
- They were not wearing proper eye protection.
- They were wearing the wrong kind of protection for the job.
When you visit CPS Optix, you will see a number of styles to choose from for prescription and regular protective eyewear. Please reach out to learn more.
Protective eye wear does not only apply to construction workers, chemists, carpentry or electrical work. * Computer Vision Syndrome, also referred to as Digital Eye Strain, describes a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader and cell phone use. The average American worker spends seven hours a day on the computer either in the office or working from home. *
