Adjusting Monitor Height for Bifocal andTrifocal 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.

TIPS

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.

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.
