How to Avoid Computer Vision Syndrome
Continuous or prolonged use of technology can lead to computer vision syndrome, which may include eye strain, headaches, fatigue, burning or tired eyes, loss of focus, blurred vision, double vision, or head/neck pain.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends implementing a 20-20-20 rule with technology — take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away. The AOA also advises to keep your computer screen 15 to 20 degrees below eye level (about 4 or 5 inches as measured from the center of the screen) and 20 to 28 inches away from the eyes. You should also blink frequently to keep the front surface of the eye moist. |

Lifeline Support For Affordable Communications
Lifeline is a federal program to help low-income subscribers stay connected by providing a monthly discount on their wireline phone, wireless phone, or broadband internet service. You could qualify for a monthly discount amount to $12.04 for your landline phone. FCC rules prohibit more than one Lifeline service per household. Lifeline is available to eligible low-income subscribers in every state, territory, commonwealth, and on Tribal lands.
To qualify for Lifeline, subscribers must either have an income that is at or below 135% of the federal Poverty Guidelines or participate in at least one of the assistance programs listed below: ⭐ Medicaid ⭐ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps or SNAP) ⭐ Supplemental Security Income ⭐ Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8) ⭐ Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance ⭐ Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ⭐ Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations ⭐ Head Start (if income eligibility criteria are met) You can check eligibility with the Lifeline Eligibility Pre-Screening Tool on the Universal Service Administrative website at www.lifelinesupport.org. Please mail a copy of your approval letter with your account number and a current phone number to contact you at, to Marquette-Adams Telephone Coop., PO Box 45, Oxford, WI 53952. If you have questions please call our office at 608-586-4111.  
In July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission adopted an order approving the designation of 988 as the 3-digit dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. To facilitate implementation, area codes across the country where the 988 prefix is a working prefix and which now use 7-digit local dialing must transition to 10-digit local dialing. This includes the area code in our service area.
Starting October 24, 2021, you'll need to dial the area code plus the 7-digit phone number to make local calls. In addition to changing your dialing routine, you'll also have to reprogram 7-digit local numbers to 10-digit numbers if you use speed dial or any other system that automatically makes calls for you. |
