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.

productive:
