As we head into the weekend, remember that your eye health matters! The Ophthalmological Society of Zimbabwe encourages you to take a moment to rest your eyes and practice good habits. Tip of the Weekend: Give Your Eyes a Break! Whether you’re working on a screen or enjoying outdoor activities, make sure to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This helps reduce eye strain and keeps your vision sharp. Stay tuned for more tips and insights on maintaining healthy eyes! #EyeCare #Ophthalmology #HealthyVision #Zimbabwe
