Lighting
Proper lighting can improve the visibility of the display and reduce
eyestrain
.
YPosition the monitor so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does
not reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows or shades to reduce
glare.
YAvoid placing the monitor in front of a bright light that could shine
directly in your eyes.
YIf possible, use soft, indirect lighting in the computer work area.
Arms and wrists
To protect your arms and wrists:
YAvoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep them in a
relaxed, neutral position while typing.
YOccasionally exercise your hands, wrists, and arms to improve
circulation.
Work habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to vary your
activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your workday.
Finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and improve your
efficiency. Some ways to improve your work situation are:
YTake frequent breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, and
relieve your eyes. A break of two or three minutes every half-hour is
more effective than a long break after several hours.
YAvoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. Intersperse
such activities with other tasks.
YFocusing your eyes on the computer screen for long periods can
cause eyestrain. Look away from the computer frequently and focus
your eyes on a distant object for at least thirty seconds.
