-Modify your workstation. Adjust your workstation and chair to the correct height.
-Use proper lighting.

-Match the computer screen to the brightness of the environment. The contrast between the background and on-screen characters should be high.

-Minimize the glare. Use window shades, blinds or drapes to block excessive sunlight or install an anti-glare screen to minimize reflections.

-Exercise even when sitting. Move about or exercise frequently.
