shoulders.

of your knuckles. Place your monitor near that location. If needed, move the monitor closer or farther

Adjusting the monitor height

Your monitor position should allow your head to be balanced comfortably over your shoulders. It should
not cause your neck to bend forward uncomfortably or backward to any degree. You may find it more
comfortable to position the monitor so that the top line of text is just below your eye height. Your eyes
should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
Many computer designs allow you to place the monitor on top of the system unit. If this places the monitor
too high, you may want to move the monitor to the desktop. On the other hand, if the monitor sits on
your work surface and you feel any discomfort in your neck or upper back, the monitor may be too low.
In that case, try using a block, book, or monitor stand to raise the monitor.

Tilting the monitor

Tilt the monitor so that it faces your eyes. In general, the monitor screen and your face should be parallel
to each other. To check for correct monitor tilt, have someone hold a small mirror in the center of the
viewing area. When sitting in your normal work posture, you should be able to see your eyes in the
mirror.
Adjusting monitor height for bifocal, trifocal, and progressive addition lens
users
If you wear bifocals, trifocals, or progressive addition lenses, it's especially important to properly adjust
your monitor height. Avoid tilting your head back to view the screen through the lower portion of your
glasses; this could lead to muscle fatigue in your neck and back. Instead, try lowering your monitor. If
that does not work, you may want to consider obtaining glasses that are specially made for computer
use.
