User Comfort Recommendations

The following are some tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:

• Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately

152cm to 244 cm (5 feet to 8 feet).

• A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top

of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are

comfortably seated.

• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.

• Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every 30

minutes.

• Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus

on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.

• Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises

frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move

your eyes diagonally.
