Here are some simple tips I put together for limiting visual strain during distance education: 10-Tips for Limiting Visual Strain ... During Distance Education Follow the 20/20/20-rule: look away from your screen for 20-seconds, 20-feet (approx.) into the distance, every 20-minutes (make a timer on your phone). If the room you are in is a small room, and you don’t have a window, look to highest/furthest corner of your room. Position yourself so you are not facing direct light (window). Position yourself so you are facing a plain background with minimal visual distractions. If also engaged with hard copy, use a slanted surface (3-ring binder works), and have light directly face the item you are looking at (task lighting). Adjust the brightness setting on your device: light can affect your vision just as much as size. Consider trying white symbols on a black background if you are really bothered by glare. Go into your settings and increase the spacing between words and lines. Use a larger font size; 16-24 works best for most people. Change the font style to something that is easily legible: Arial, Helvetica, Comic-Sans, Calibri If you have the option of reading something in print instead of on a screen (a novel for example), spend at least some of your time engaged with regular print. At some point during your day, engage in activities that rely predominantly on senses other than your vision: chores, getting outside (when the air is better), listening activities, board games, exercise, cooking, etc. Joe Gutcher-MS TVI/O&M
