Adjusting monitor height for bifocal and trifocal users

If you wear bifocals or trifocals, it’s especially important to properly adjust your monitor height. Avoid tilting your head back to view the screen through the lower portion of your glasses; this could lead to muscle fatigue in your neck and back. Instead, try lowering your monitor. You may want to consider using monofocal glasses that are specially made for computer use.

WRONG!

If you wear bifocals or trifocals, don't position your monitor so high that you have to tilt your head back to view the screen.

HINT: Notebook Viewing

Whenever using a notebook computer for long periods, you may find it more comfortable to connect a full- size monitor. A separate monitor gives you a wider range of viewing distance and height options.

HINT: Adjusting Brightness and Contrast

Reduce the potential for eye discomfort by using brightness and contrast controls on your monitor to improve the quality of text and graphics.

Eliminating glare and reflections on your monitor

Take the time to eliminate glare and reflections. To control daylight, use blinds, shades, or drapes, or try other glare-reducing measures. Use indirect or reduced lighting to avoid bright spots on your display screen.

If glare is a problem, consider these actions:

◆Move your monitor to a place where glare and bright reflections are eliminated.

◆Turn off or reduce ceiling lights and use task lighting (one or more adjustable lamps) to illuminate your work.

◆If you cannot control the ceiling lights, try positioning your monitor between rows of lights instead of directly beneath a row of lights.

◆Attach a glare-reduction filter to your monitor.
