Avoiding fatigue
mChange your seated position, stand up, or stretch whenever you start to feel tired. Frequent short breaks are helpful in reducing fatigue.
mAllow adequate work space so that you can work comfortably. Place papers or other items so you can view them easily while using your computer. A document stand may make reading papers more comfortable.
mEye muscles must work harder to focus on nearby objects. Occasionally focus your eyes on a distant object, and blink often while you work.
mClean your screen regularly. Keeping the screen clean helps reduce unwanted reflections.
