VDU's and Your Eyes

"Although there is no reliable evidence to suggest that even long-term intensive use of VDUs is damaging to the eyes, it is true that VDU users tend to complain of eye strain more than non-users. This is likely to be due to fatigue through causes such as:

• Insufficient and infrequent rest periods

• Incorrect positioning of the screen and/or documents

• Unsuitable lighting

• Poorly designed work area

• An uncorrected eyesight fault such as long sight, short sight, astigmatism or presbyopia

• The eyes not working together comfortably.

Any of these conditions could lead to fatigue; all can be overcome through good design of the working environment and by regular eyecare."
