or muscle twitching or other involuntary movements, stop use 
immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or 
family history of such events should consult a doctor before

wherever possible every hour take a minimum of 15 minutes, use 
in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest distance 
and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
