Actually doing computer work without any break during the week is also strenuous. It is best to set sindays aside for non computer related stuff. If you can go for a hike or spend time for outdoors activities the week’s working part is better for the eyes too!

while taking your break put an ice pack, or a bag of frozen vegetables, over your eyes, even after a few minutes I notice my eyes feel refreshed(it helps get rid of under eye circles too for you late night typers)

I often look away from the computer screen and focus on far away objects: posters on the wall, street view through the office’s windows… Taking a 5-min. break is advisable not only for your sight but also for your overall health. Go get yourself a glass of water, pick up some fruit from the coffee room, have a short chat with a workmate downstairs instead of sending him/her an email… anything goes!

Even though black text in white backround seems to be standard, it is causing problems for many people.

It is much easier to read, but staring at the white background for long can cause problems.

@Steve

This should only be a problem if you use internet explorer. Download a decent browser and you won’t need to worry!

I love using Firefox’s text size feature on sites that specify tiny fonts.

When I’m doing a lot of doc review, I rotate my monitor (Dell LCD) and Windows desktop so I have a portrait view. It looks weird but I can view a whole page at a time in a readable size.

Great suggestions all! Reducing the high contrast of brilliant white document backgrounds to black font may increase comfort reading from monitors and improve productivity. ComfortScreen is a simple program designed for this purpose, check out the benefits at http://www.readscape.com.

Also, don’t waste a lot of time reading blogs! Its equally straining on the eyes. You can just listen to them at blogbard on your iphone on your way to work/home etc.

Hmmm, you’re right WWD! and don’t forget to use an eye protector such as monitor filter, it’ll also help reduce eye strains.

I think the thing that has made the biggest difference for me is simply taking a break to look out the window and refocus my eyes. Making sure you are a comfortable at distance away from your monitor is always helpful =).

6. Stop visiting web sites that specify font sizes in pixels (and which are inevitably authored by web developers with low to medium resolution displays), as you’re forced to use the zoom hack to read their low-res graphics.
