Standard office fluorescent lighting is often too bright or too high up from the workstation area. Lighting adjustments can be made by purchasing special desktop fixtures designed for workstations or antiglare screen filters. Monitor screens love dust. They should be wiped often with an antistatic cloth to improve visibility. When working long sessions at your workstation, consider periodic rest breaks.
Computer use requires only small changes in body, head, and eye position.
These small movements can be fatiguing. A quick stand and stretch or walk around the office area will break the routine. Periodic glances at objects farther away than your computer also gives your eyes a chance to rest from close work. Frequent eye blinking will lubricate the eyes and prevent them from drying out. Since the screen is usually farther away and higher than the usual reading distance, certain individuals who normally do not need glasses may require corrective lenses for computer work.
