Visual Ergonomics 101

Here are some tips that can be used to reduce eye strain and make computer work more comfortable:

1. Position your computer monitor five to nine inches below the horizontal line of sight so that when you look straight ahead, you look just over the top of the monitor.
2. Sit far enough away that you can’t touch the monitor without leaning forward. At a minimum so that you cannot put your palm on the screen. A good minimum working distance is about 50-70 cm.
3. Use an adjustable or ergonomic work station that suits your body. See diagram on back.
4. Adjust your monitor contrast and brightness to a comfortable level.
