Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment A-9

Adjust Your Monitor

Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce
eye, shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when
you position the monitor.

Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at
or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly
downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

Position your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no
farther away than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal
distance is between 14 and 18 inches.

Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at
least 20 feet away. Blink often.
