2. The body is made to move and it is best to change positions, get up and walk or stretch frequently, change your chair settings throughout the day.

3. If you are an adjustable lens user it will be important for you to try the above suggestions but make every effort to maintain a good posture.  Have a computer specific eye exam performed.
