Lighting Conditions

Calibrate Your Display Settings 


     Adjust the brightness and contrast settings of your monitor according to the comfort levels of your eyes.

Blink 


   Eye experts say that blinking helps your eyes prevent irritation. Ensure that you blink often to avoid dryness.

Divert Your Eyes Often 


      Computer radiation can damage your eyes. Instead of constantly looking at your monitor it is good to look around once in every 15 minutes.

Glare 


   Even glare is one factor that has to be reduced. Getting an anti-glare panel installed on the monitor may help you protect your eyes. You can also use glasses that protect your eyes from the glare.

Take Frequent Breaks 


     Frequent breaks help your eyes relax after they are strained. Never work for long hours in a single stretch.


Regular Check-ups

Buy A New Monitor 


     If your monitor is too old, get a new one which is easier on your eyes.
