Eye strain is a common problem for many people who look at a computer screen all day. Here are a couple of ideas that may help you prevent eye strain. - Place your monitor at a right angle from the window. It keeps the sun out of your eyes and keeps down the glare on the monitor.
- Use an anti-glare screen to cut down the reflections. Anti-glare screens can be purchased through most office supply catalogues. Most clip over the monitor - so you have to purchase the right size. Monitors are measured in inches across the diagonal - just like a television screen. Most monitors range from 13-23 inches.
- Place papers you're working from on a paper holder about the same distance from your eyes as the monitor. This keeps your eyes from refocusing constantly.
- Occasionally look away from the monitor and focus on a distant object for a few seconds to give your eyes a rest.
- It is generally thought that the new, high-quality flat screens (LCD monitors) are easier on the eye, as they do not use a cathode ray tube (CRT) to project images on the screen.
