- Minimise the brightness of your montior
- The room light image should not be reflected into your eyes from the monitor
- Ideally, the centre of monitor should be almost in the level or slightly below your eye level! Generally, it is far below, and you will be bending your head and eyes downward!!
- Cross check through somebody if your back, neck and head are almost strsight when you are working on computer.
- Your face should be as far as possible from the monitor.
- You dont need any protection glasses to work on system!! Light Amber color background is better than blue background.
- Blink atlest 20 times a minute. Take off and see distance for about 20 seconds, after about 20 minutes of continuous system work.
- Dont rub your eyes at all!!!
- Cold packs on closed eyes will be of help
- Never splash water into your eyes with lids open! Do it with eyes closed.
- Drink lot of water. Increase the humidity to atleast 60-70 if you are in AC environment.
- Desktops are better than Laptops. They are more ergonomic.
