Lighting 
Proper lighting can improve legibility of the display and reduce eye strain. 
■ 
Position the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does 
not reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows, shades or other screen 
to eliminate sun glare. 
■ 
Avoid placing the computer in front of bright light that could shine 
directly in your eyes. 
■ 
If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area. Use 
a lamp to illuminate your documents or desk, but be sure to position 
the lamp so that it does not reflect off the display or shine in your 
eyes. 
Work habits 
A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your 
activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your work day. If you 
must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the 
routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency. 
■ 
Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment 
as described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and 
ease back strain. 
■ 
Vary your posture frequently. 
■ 
Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly. 
■ 
Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during 
the day. 
■ 
Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a 
distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every 
15 minutes. 
■ 
Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for 
example, two or three minutes every half hour. 
■ 
Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly, if you 
suspect you might be suffering from a repetitive strain injury. 
A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain 
injury or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics 
or for pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, 
please check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the 
computer’s Safety Instruction Manual.
