Taking care of your vision

Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.

Eyes

yRest your eyes frequently.

yGive your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a distant point.

yBlink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.

Display

yKeep your display clean.

yKeep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.

yAdjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.
