People can develop stiffness, back pain, tight joints, poor circulation, and repetitive strain injuries (such as carpal tunnel syndrome) using the computer. Here are a few ergonomic tips to avoid all that.

• Your monitor should be slightly below eye level. Give your eyes a rest. Take a break from staring at your screen regularly. Focus your eyes on something off in the distance periodically.

• Don’t forget to give your wrists a break! Use wrist pads, ergonomic keyboards, and proper typing position.

• Use proper typing technique (keep your wrists up) and take a 5-minute break every half-hour of typing. Take a stretch break every hour.

• Use ergonomic furniture and accessories.
