GLEN CARBON Improper body alignment or poor posture could be suffering from an undiagnosed eye condition, according to Dr. Julie Steinhauer, OD, FCOVD, owner of Vision For Life.
Steinhauer said people who slump or lean forward at a computer screen may have a condition called myopia or nearsightedness. Others who sit more rigid and may even lean back from their screen can have a condition called hyperopia or farsightedness.
“Nearly everyone is on a computer, laptop, or iPhone at some part of the day,” she said. “Many have to constantly lean over and slouch their shoulders in order to clearly read the words on the screen. Others may have to hold their mobile phone at arm’s length and lean back to read more precisely. Both these postures are indicative of a possible underlying vision issue.”

Dr. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, said during an Alliance for Health Policy event Friday he’s encouraging states to broaden criteria for who can be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Some states have about 30% to 35% utilization of the current vaccine that they have, he said, and “we’re encouraging those states to broaden the criteria for administration.” Several states have opened up vaccination to people in certain age groups, even if they haven’t finished vaccinating health care workers.
