Sometimes we get too busy to stretch our arms and legs when we are working on the computers. And at times we remember that we are just a bag of organic compounds which require a little rest when it gets tired. One major impact that any one who sits in front of the computer for longer periods is inevitably the back pain and the foremost important one is the discomfort in the eyes.
The eyes work on a rule of ‘keep-me-wet-always’ principle which drives the efficiency of the job of the optical nerve to its maximum potential. And it is also known to all of us that it is the human tendency to decrease the blinking of the eyes when we are working on the PCs. This, along side with the misplaced lighting above or in-front of the monitors does impact the way we perceive the information on them. And if you sit near the windows or sun-shades, then there is a can’t miss scope of the sunlight playing major role in the brightness around you and the more pressure the monitor creates on your eyes.
In order to balance this, we suggest you to use F.lux which adjusts your monitor brightness based on your location and weather conditions and aadjust to the lighting conditions around you to provide suitable ambience. F.lux works by scanning the position of the Sun based on your time zone and your zip-code and adjust the display settings automatically. Its queer to get yourself adjusted when you use this application for the first time because, we always tend to set the contrast and brightness of the monitor to a ‘pleasant’ level of viewing but not the ‘right’ level of viewing.
We cant show you how the monitor changes because it is well worth the download of 545KB and there is also an option to disable the F.lux application for one hour if you are going to work on any color sensitive work.
