Many computer users suffer from irritated eyes, fatigue and headaches resulting from eye strain, called computer vision syndrome. This course illustrates how eye strain is caused by poor lighting, glare, and dirty monitor screens. Viewers are shown how to eliminate monitor glare by adjusting the light levels, moving or tilting the monitor, and putting a glare filter over the screen. Beyond preventing eye strain, the video models ways to achieve neutral body positioning and make other adjustments to a workspace to help avoid unnecessary strain from using a computer.
