Finding Your Way around the System
Lighting
Proper lighting can improve the legibility of the display and
reduce eye strain.
Position the display panel so that sunlight or bright indoor
lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows or
shades to reduce glare.
Avoid placing your computer in front of a bright light that
could shine directly in your eyes.
If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work
area.

Arms and Wrists

Avoid bending, arching, or angling your wrists. Keep them in a
relaxed, neutral position while typing.
Exercise your hands, wrists and arms to improve circulation.

Work Habits

The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to
vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into
your work day. Finding ways to break up the routine can reduce
stress and improve your efficiency.
Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your muscles,
and relieve your eyes.
Avoid performing repetitive activities for prolonged periods of
time. Vary activities from one task to another.
Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long periods
of time can cause eye strain. Look away from the computer
frequently and focus your eyes on a distant object.
