Treatment for Computer Vision Syndrome

Yesterday I talked about the eye specifically and things you could do. Today, I'm going to talk about the environment. One of the things you can do is to adjust your monitor to its highest resolution. This will make looking at the screen more comfortable for your eyes. While the clarity is better with the high resolution, it may make the font too small to read easily, so you may have to adjust the font size.

Next, remove lamps or lighting that produce glare on the computer screen. Natural light is best, but this is often not an option in many offices. Remove the direct light sources or install blinds, screens or shades to remove the glare from the screen. This can be done with an anti-reflection computer screen.

More tips tomorrow on dealing with computer vision syndrome.
