Preventing eye fatigue
- Put more space between yourself and your computer screen. The monitor should be about 25 inches away from your face. This will also help with your posture.
- Tilt your screen slightly downwards. This can help reduce glare, which often contributes to eye strain. You can also use a blue-light-blocking screen cover for your laptop or wear glasses that block blue light to help reduce any glare.

- Set your devices’ night-time preferences to warm (or get yellow-lens glasses).
- When you’re working on a laptop, take a break every 20 minutes. Look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds to give your eyes a chance to relax.
