Cleaning your monitor and eyeglasses

Keep your display screen and your eyeglasses or contact lenses clean. If you use a glare-reduction filter, clean it according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Having your eyes examined

To be sure that your vision is adequately corrected, have your eyes examined regularly by a vision care specialist. Consider having glasses made that are specifically suited for working with a computer monitor. If you wear bifocals or trifocals, you may find these special monofocal glasses more comfortable for computer use. For more information, see Adjusting monitor height for bifocal and trifocal users on page 12.

*HINT: Eye Comfort

While looking at your monitor and also while resting your eyes, remember to blink. This helps keep your eyes naturally protected and lubricated and helps prevent dryness, a common source of discomfort.

HINT: Eye Break

Give your eyes frequent rests by focusing them on a distant point.
