Taking care of your vision  
Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive room lighting,  
poorly focused screens, very small typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The  
following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.  
Eyes  
Rest your eyes frequently.  
Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a  
distant point.  
Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.  
Display  
Keep your display clean.  
Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your eyes point  
downward when looking at the middle of the display.  
Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text  
readability and graphics clarity.  
Eliminate glare and reflections by:  
placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light source  
minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds  
using a task light  
changing the display’s viewing angle  
using a glare-reduction filter  
using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the display’s top front  
edge  
Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.  
Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of  
time.  
Developing good work habits  
Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing and productive:  
Take short breaks regularly and often.  
Perform some stretching exercises.  
Breathe fresh air as often as possible.  
Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.
