Also the top of your monitor should be at eye level because it should be looking down your work not a so -- need to adjust the height of your monitor up or down.
If you need extra height you can use writers like me is or hardcover books -- around.
There is -- -- your eyes strain is caused by too much artificial or natural light.
So if you can turn up any harsh fluorescent lights.
Instead use a floral and or at -- grant and position it's that it's giving off indirect light on either side of your computer.
