1. Important
•
Excessive usage of monitor can 
cause eye discomfort, it’s better to 
take shorter breaks more often at 
your workstation than longer breaks 
and less often; for example a 5-10 
minute break after 50-60-minute 
continuous screen use is likely to 
be better than a 15-minute break 
every two hours. Try to keep your 
eyes from eye strain while using the 
screen for a constant period of time 
by :
•
Looking at something varying 
distances after a long period 
focusing on the screen.
•
Conscious Blinking often while 
you work.
•
Gently closing and rolling your 
eyes to relax.
•
Reposition your screen to ap-
propriate height and angle ac-
cording to your height.
•
Adjusting the brightness and 
contrast to appropriate level.
•
Adjusting the environment light-
ing similar to that of your screen 
brightness, avoid the fluorescent 
lighting, and surfaces that don’t 
reflect too much light.
•
Seeing a doctor if your symp-
toms.
