take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders

avoid  tensing  your  muscles  or  shrugging  your  shoulders

install the external  display, keyboard  and  mouse properly  and within  comfort

able  reach

if you view your monitor more than your documents, place the display at the

center of your desk to minimize neck strain

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

Rest  your  eyes  frequently.

Give your eyes regular breaks by looking  away from the monitor and focusing

on a distant point.

Blink frequently  to keep  your eyes  from drying  out.

Display

Keep  your  display  clean.

Keep 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.

Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced

text readability and graphics clarity.

Eliminate 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

Avoid  adjusting  your display  to  an  awkward  viewing  angle.

Avoid looking at bright light sources,  such as open windows,  for extended

periods of time.

Developing  good  work  habits

Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing and

productive:

Take short breaks regularly and often.

Perform some  stretching exercises.

Breathe fresh air as often as possible.

Exercise  regularly  and maintain  a  healthy  body.
