- keep at least an arm-length distance to the screen (that's what I've heard is good)
- have f.lux installed (my eyes feel noticeably more relaxed)
- make sure rooms is properly lightened, i.e. no window in front, not too dark (I have a vague idea this helps)
(FWIW, I've heard that all kinds of flat screen have a non-adjustable backlight that is supposed to quite strong. I think I read that on HN but I couldn't find references at that point.)
I wish this would become more of a well-known topic. There is a lot of information available about hands/arm ergonomics, special devices/tables and many companies have things to improve on that. But the eyes part it pretty much ignored, I don't really understand why. During the CRT screen times, you could at least choose more or less ergonomic screens. But now I feel the topic isn't there any more.
