Here's what's worked for me the past few years - in home office, anyway:
[*]A 19" Dell Trinitron chosen back in Feb 2000 for its "best of" rating for clarity of print over graphics.
[*]Using a soft dove gray background with a dark burgundy print; but being a Texas Ex, the too-similiar-to-Aggie Maroon started buggin' me after a while....Since then, a light cream background with a dark blue print has proven to be a very effective solution to the standard stark and glaring black on white.
[*]Using full spectrum (overhead and/or task) lighting such as UltraLux or OTT-LITE.

Full spectrum makes a notable difference in my reading also;
full spectrum light designed to approximate sunlight.
Occasionaly dusting moniter helped.

Which UltraLux or OTT-LITE product do you use? Got any recommendations?

Has anyone ever tried vision strengthening or protection programs like Vision for life (http://www.rebuildyourvision.com/home) or The See Clearly Method (http://www.seeclearlymethod.com/) ? They sound kind of gimmicky but Iâd be willing to put in the time if someone (not testimonials on the site) has had experience with it and was willing to share.
I can't see how SeeClearly can work (no pun intended). Nearsightedness is caused by an elongated eyeball, mostly a hereditary condition. The image focuses in front of the retina instead of on it. The muscles that control the eye's movement are attached at the sides of the eyeball, and no amount of exercise will cause the eyeball to return to a spherical shape.
Just my 2c worth, which is all I think those systems are worth.
Keep your office/room lighting low so you can keep the brightness on your monitors at a lower setting and it'll do wonders for you. Too many people have overhead flourescent lighting which kills the backlights on many LCDs, so they compensate by turning up the brightness . . . result is eyestrain.

Hi All,
I don't have any competence in this matter. I would like to point out though that this subject is alive a long time. More than 100 years ago, the writer Huxley wrote a book about this subject. He himself had very bad eyesight and claimed to have improved it dramatically by exercise only. (Huxley was the son of a world famous physician, the first defender of Darwin's theories)
Maybe somebody can give a better reference to this, eventually correct me, it is simply too long ago I read this.
nononsense
Hi. You might checkout this paperback from Conerstone Library.
"Do you really need Eyeglasses" by Michael Windolph. This book is old but maybe you could locate one yet.
The info is based on theories of Dr.Wm H.Bates who developed effective eye exercises.
