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

yGive your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a distant point.
yBlink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
Display
yKeep your display clean.
yKeep 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.
yAdjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.
yEliminate 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
yAvoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
yAvoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of time.
Developing good work habits
