Esential Tip #1: Monitor Your Monitor

Repositioning your monitor is an easy and effective way to avoid awkward head or eye movements. It should be squarely in front of you at a distance of 18 to 28 inches, with the top of the monitor (not the screen) level with your eyes.

You may also have to adjust the angle of your monitor to allow your eyes to remain in a natural position (straight ahead and slightly down).

Essential Tip #2: Glare Care

Modifying your office lighting will eliminate glare and harsh reflections. First, find the source of the glare: is it coming from a window, task light, or the computer screen itself?

Adjust blinds or curtains to minimize sunlight. Turn down overhead lights so that the brightness of the screen and the surrounding room are balanced. Task lights should be positioned to provide direct light for reading and other office work but should not shine directly on the computer.

Essential Tip #3: Take a Break-the “10-10-10″ Rule

It’s easy to lose track of time at the computer. So you need to learn how to take a break. Here’s how:

Place a piece of masking tape with “10-10-10″ on it to remind you to perform the “10-10-10″ rule: Every time you are performing close vision work for over 10 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything that is at least 10 feet away, for at least 10 seconds.

This simple rule helps to prevent the damaging effects of near-point stress and could literally save your eyesight! (And a computer break is a perfect excuse to perform your Vision for Life eye exercises.)

Essential Tip #4: Some Folks Have Special Needs

Seniors should take extra care arranging their work stations. The AOA notes that workers over 50 years of age require twice the light levels of young adults for comfortable work.

By the same token, very often small children share the same computer as their parents, a situation that can lead to injury, as monitor distance and position have been set up to accommodate the adults.
