Ergonomic Home Office: Light it Well and Protect Your Eyes
Workplace wellness
We take care of the chair and desk height, but we forget what works the most during an office day: our eyes. Visual ergonomics is as important as postural ergonomics.
With a few adjustments to your setup, lighting, and habits, you can significantly reduce the eye strain you experience at the end of the day.
The correct distance and height
Place your monitor at arm's length, with the top of the screen at eye level or slightly below. This way, your gaze falls slightly downward, which is the most natural and comfortable posture for reading.
Lighting changes everything
Avoid the screen being the only light source in the room: illuminate the environment so that the contrast doesn't strain your eyes. Position windows to the side—not in front or behind—to minimize reflections and glare.
Good ambient lighting reduces visual effort as much as a good filter. The two together are even more effective.
Time-calibrated filter
Add a blue light filter to your ergonomics that adjusts to the time of day: gentle in the morning to respect natural colors, and intense in the afternoon when fatigue accumulates. Ryva lenses have filters precisely calibrated for this.
