Ten Tips to avoid eye strain at the computer
- Get a comprehensive eye exam– make sure to tell your doctor how many hours you spend at the computer
- Use proper lighting– eliminate any exterior lighting that may reflect on your screen and overhead fluorescent lights
- Minimize glare-invest in an anti-glare screen for your monitor, and anti-reflective treatments for your eye glasses
- Upgrade your display– replace your old CRT monitor with a flat panel LCD
- Adjust your computer display settings-adjust brightness, size and color temperature to reduce amount of blue light emitted
