Place your monitor directly in front of you and sit about an arm’s length away from it. The top of the screen should be slightly below your eye level so you look down at the screen. Position the monitor so that no light is reflected from the screen.

Use good lighting that isn’t too bright. Try to keep bright light sources out of your field of vision when you are looking at the screen.

Be gentle with your keyboard. Too much force creates tension in your hands. Also, make sure your work surface has enough room for you to move the mouse or other pointing device freely.
