• Or you could adjust the brightness controls on the montor until they are comfortable to your eyes.

Neck & Back Strain

• Sit up straight.

• The monitor screen should be a compfortable distance away from your body.

• You should try to purchase a computer chair that has wheels at the bottom, and a backrest adjustment in order to be completly comfortable.

• Be sure you have enough desktop space for maybe a printer or other equipment you may need.

Itchy & Bloodshot Eyes

• Be sure the screen doesn't flicker or wave as this could mean that adjustment is needed.
  
• Look away from the screen after a certain length of time.
