Office Ergonomics Tips Reduce Visual Fatigue and Boost Productivity

Prolonged screen use causes digital visual fatigue for 50 %–90 % of users, leading to dry eyes, blurry vision, headaches and focus problems. Simple monitor adjustments can alleviate symptoms: match screen brightness to ambient light, use a 6500 K color temperature during the day, enable blue‑light‑reduction modes (e.g., Night Light) at night, keep the display at its native resolution and use OS scaling for larger text, and position the monitor to minimise eye strain.

Additional office accessories can improve comfort and efficiency. Recommended items include cable organizers to prevent clutter, desk organizers with drawers for supplies, adhesive‑note boards that attach to monitor edges, ergonomic laptop stands that adjust height and angle, and textured mouse pads that enhance wrist support. Implementing these changes helps reduce fatigue and supports a more productive workday.
