How many hours a day do you sit in front of the computer? For some people, it's their job and they spend 10 to 12 hours in front of the monitor and its glare. Constantly staring at a brightly lit monitor can permanently damage your eyes.
The position of the monitor screen is important. You should be looking at it straight on with your eyes cast slightly downward. The distance from you should be 1.5 to 2 feet.
Most of us lay our papers on the desk and our eyes go back and forth from the paper to the computer. Ideally, the papers should be even with the screen. There are document holders that either attach to the side of your monitor or are free standing that you can purchase for a modest price.
Your eyes won't complain, but they can be damaged by using the computer for many hours. Take frequent breaks and go do something else for a few minutes to release computer eye strain. Also, pretend you're bored with what you're doing and look away every so often. This lessons the strain on your eyes because they are focused on something else.
Are you so focused on the work at your computer that you're oblivious to what's going on around you? That's not healthy for you eyes. Give your eyes a break and look up and check things out now and then. Soothe your tired eyes by closing them for a few minutes periodically. So refresh your tired overworked eyes by looking up and focusing on something else, or close your eyes for a few minutes.
