One that we recommend a great deal is called Refresh and if you are using them more than 3-4 times per day I would recommend Refresh Plus. Another very good drop is GenTeal, which is also an unreserved drop in the eye. If you have a really dry eye you need to talk to your eye care person or give me a call. If you have windows behind you, close the blinds or drapes to prevent glare on the monitor. Contrast on the screen will be improved in a slightly darkened room especially if you are using overhead fluorescent lights.
Some monitors come from the factory set with brightness and contrast controls at their maximum.
These should be set at the lowest level that produces a good clear image. If you are one of those lucky people who get to wear bifocals consider some of the following options. First thing to consider is the height of your monitor. This will allow a slight down gaze when looking at the monitor and make your bifocals easier to use. If you find yourself tipping your head back to use your bifocal to see the screen consider lowering the monitor even more if possible.
