Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not reflect on the computer display
or shine directly into your eyes.
Position the computer desk and computer so you can avoid glare on your
computer display and light shining directly into your eyes. Reduce glare
by installing shades or curtains on windows, and by installing a glare screen
filter on your computer display.
Use soft, indirect lighting in your work area. Do not use your computer
