protect your eyes from computer

·         Clean your computer screen periodically to remove any dust, dirt or fingerprints. This can make it easier on your eyes, so they do not have to focus harder to see what is on the screen, especially if there is text to read.

·         Keep the monitor about 20 to 30 inches away from your face. This range has been found to be the best distance for proper viewing and for reducing eye strain.

·         Use fonts and icon sizes that are easy for you to view and read. Avoid using small fonts and icon sizes as it can cause eye strain.

·         Adjust the height of the monitor so that the top of the monitor is just below your eye level so that you are looking down slightly when viewing the screen.

·         Make sure there is proper lighting in the room. Overly dim lighting or overly bright lighting can cause strain to your eyes.

·         Use an anti-glare filter on your monitor, to help prevent glare and reflection from lights in the room.

·         Use a document holder for placing documents that you look at regularly, and place it at the same distance as the monitor.
