Institute Editorial Team 05/31/2022

It might not be obvious to any of us on a day to day basis, but the world has radically shifted in the last 50 years.

Does your job require you to stare at a screen for hours? Dry, red and itchy eyes are vision problems that women who work on computers all day long often experience.
