Would appreciate info. thanks and love to all

I sit my computer screen on a lower level than the desk, so that I am looking down. I increase the font to a very large size and I've changed the backgound to gray with navy blue for the type and toned down the brightness. I have a new flat screen that is non glare and that has helped also. Combined all these little things have helped.

i have my fonts set to very large also with a contraption called a cat navigator( actually a mouse flat pad), that can enlarge small print on some but not all web pages , tone down the brightnees, and have to wear my lighter fl41's. Looking at my monitor ,it is set lower so that I look down at it also.

Also i can't use the computer for long periods of time either or it is very much of an eyeball strain.

Hello Maria,

Exactly what type of problem is Butch having with it?

My best helps in order are:

1. A 20" screen (It's wonderful!)

2. Enlarging the font to 120%

3. An anti-glare screen

4. As Delaine said, looking down slightly at the screen.

5. No flourescent lighting. A small Banker's lamp (with the green shade) slightly to the side and behind me. In the daytime, normal light from either a lightly draped or open window (with my back to it).

6. Having typed since High School, by touch.

7. Stop when your eyes say you've had enough. Otherwise you'll get a burning feeling that will linger.

8. Having a completely quiet room.

Hope that helps. When I was working I always wore my dark wrap-around sunglasses in the office.

Judy
