What if you are traveling?
It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are
using your computer while on the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of
the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible. Sitting properly
and using adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable
levels of comfort and performance.

Questions about vision?
Your computer’s visual display screen is designed to meet the highest
standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright
displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of course, any
concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have
questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care specialist
for advice.
