Reducing eye strain
Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not
reflect on the monitor screen or shine directly
into your eyes.
•
Position the computer desk and screen so
you can avoid glare on your screen and
light shining directly into your eyes.
Reduce glare by installing shades or
curtains on windows, and by installing a
glare screen filter.
•
Use soft, indirect lighting in your work
area. Do not use your computer in a dark
room.
•
Set paper holders at the same height and
distance as the monitor.
•
Avoid focusing your eyes on your
computer screen for long periods of time.
Every 10 or 15 minutes, look around the
room, and try to focus on distant objects.
Setting up your computer desk and chair
When you are setting up your computer desk
and chair, make sure that the desk is the
appropriate height and the chair helps you
maintain good posture.
