If you are already having difficulty getting out of your chair, a modified sit-to-stand exercise can help you become stronger. Place an extra cushion or pillow on the chair so you are not seated as low. Elevate the seat height to a point that allows you to stand up, but requires you to put in effort.
August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month. ChicagoâPrevent Blindness America (PBA) has declared August as Childrenâs Eye Health and Safety Month in an effort to educate parents on the importance of healthy vision for their children. The association also offers signs and behaviors parents can look for to see whether their children may have vision problems.
These injuries have resulted in more than $300 million in lost time, medical expenses and worker compensation, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). To help reduce this number, PBA has designated March as Workplace Eye Health and Safety Month. Each day, more than 2,000 American workers suffer an eye injury, and nearly 1 million Americans have lost some of their sight due to an eye injury, according to Prevent Blindness America (PBA).
