Top of screen is not higher than eye level Hands and arms are parallel to the floor Screen is perpendicular to your line of sight Feet are flat on the floor Reducing eye strain Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not reflect on the monitor screen or shine directly into your eyes. ■ Position the computer desk and monitor so you can avoid glare on your screen and light shining directly into your eyes. Reduce glare by installing shades or curtains on windows, and by installing a glare screen filter on your monitor. ■ Use soft, indirect lighting in your work area. Do not use your computer in a dark room. ■ Avoid focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long periods of time. Look away from your computer occasionally, and try to focus on distant objects. 12
