Default Re: Dealing with eye strain

Your monitor if fine w/ 75. The lighting and contrast came from an ergonomics workshop at my former job.

Direct lighting I knew about from headaches I was having (ever have a 3 week headache?). My eye Dr gave me a script for very lightly tinted polarized glasses for computer work and I cut most of the lighting in the office. The headaches went away. Now, at home I run ONE 100w or 2 60w bulbs in my office. The overhead light is off to one side and my monitor is angled down and away. Helps much with the eye strain.
