Workstation Vision Setup

Geometry checklist

Set monitor height so your gaze is slightly downward, keep distance comfortable, align dual monitors to reduce constant neck twisting, and place reference documents near the screen height when possible.

Lighting checklist

Avoid bright windows directly behind or in front of the display. Use task lighting on paper documents without aiming lamps into your eyes or the screen.

Optical checklist

If you wear progressives, you may need a slight chin-tuck strategy—or an occupational lens discussion—for monitor zones. Readers that are too strong for monitor distance can frustrate intermediate work.
