Tips to reduce Computer Eye Strain

EyeStrain‬ often is caused by excessively bright light either from outdoor sunlight coming in through a window or from harsh interior lighting. Glare on walls and finished surfaces, as well as reflections on your computer screen also can cause computer eye strain so, it is best advised to minimize glare. You can also replace your old tube-style monitor (called a cathode ray tube or CRT) with a flat-panel liquid crystal display (LCD). Adjusting the display settings of your computer can help in reducing eye strain and fatigue. Adjust the brightness of the display so it is approximately the same as the brightness of your surroundings. Adjust the text size and contrast for comfort, especially when reading or composing long documents. Usually, black print on a white background is the best combination for comfort. Reducing the color temperature of your display, lowers the amount of blue light emitted by a color display which ultimately, helps in long-term viewing comfort.
