Eyes

Working at your computer for long periods
can be a visually demanding task and may
cause your eyes to become irritated and
fatigued. Therefore, you should give special
attention to vision care, including the
following recommendations:
Resting Your Eyes
Give your eyes frequent breaks. Periodically
look away from the monitor and focus at a
distant point. This may also be a good time to
stretch, breathe deeply, and relax.
Cleaning Your Monitor and Glasses
Keep your display screen and your glasses or
contact lenses clean. If you use a glare-
reduction filter, clean it according to the
manufacturer's directions.
Having Your Eyes Examined
To be sure that your vision is adequately
corrected, have your eyes examined regularly
by a vision care specialist. Consider having
glasses made that are specifically suited for
working with a computer monitor. If you
wear bifocals or trifocals, you may find these
special monofocal glasses more comfortable
for computer use. For more information,
see "Adjusting Monitor Height for Bifocal and
Trifocal Users" in Chapter 3.
TIPS
Eye comfort
While looking at your monitor and also while
resting your eyes, remember to blink. This
helps keep your eyes naturally protected and
lubricated and helps prevent dryness, a
common source of discomfort.
Eye break
Give your eyes frequent rests by focusing
them on a distant point.
