- I use a BenQ anti-glare monitor [0] that automatically adjusts the brightness based on ambient lighting.
- I use f.lux [1] to automatically adjust the color temperature based on the time of day.
- I use Dark Reader [2] to enable dark mode on all websites.
- I work near a window that I can easily, and often, look out of away from the screen.
- I make sure to sit/stand with good posture while working. Slouching with your head forward causes the muscles in your face and neck to tense up which contributes to eye strain.
- I make sure to use f.lux (or adjacent apps) on my mobile devices and reduce the amount of time I use them before bed in order to get a decent amount of restful sleep. Tired eyes have to work extra hard to focus which contributes to eye strain.
One thing I've yet to do, but am going to soon, and highly recommend, is to see an eye doctor for a comprehensive exam. Uncorrected, or under corrected, vision problems can be major contributing factors to eye strain.
