I know that I spend loads of time sitting in front of this computer screen each day, and that’s just to complete homework, and doesn’t include the hour (on a slow day) that I spend looking up stuff to post on the blog, and some days, eyestrain can be a real headache.

Here’s a list of 22 ways to reduce eyestrain.

Some Basics :

1.  Don’t sit too close to the monitor.  An arms length away is good.
2.  Don’t use a light source behind the monitor.  Get a lamp off to the side of the monitor on the desk instead.
3.  Get an eye exam - glasses while on the computer may help.
4.Avoid working in a dark room.

I’d strongly reccomend reading the full article, because even if it doesn’t help you, I bet you know someone who it can help.
