No higher than the level of your eyes and at the correct distance for
your vision.
Avoid eye fatigue, which can be caused by glare, image quality,
uncomfortable furniture, eye height, and uncorrected vision. If you
cannot focus to read at different distances, you may need special
glasses. Relax your eyes periodically by looking at distant objects.
Take periodic work breaks. Morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks
during the 8-hour workday meet most recommendations. Take
advantage of work breaks to move around and do other activities.
Avoid direct lighting or sunlight on the screen, which causes glare and
reflections. Place lighting behind or to the side of your work area, and
distribute the lighting evenly on your work area.
Your computer monitor's screen has an antiglare treatment to reduce
glare. Adjust the brightness and contrast controls as needed.
Keep background noise at a minimum. Background noise above 65
dBA is tiring. Sound-absorbing materials (curtains, carpeting, and
acoustic tile) can help reduce background noise.
