Good Vision in the Office: Getting Your Glasses and Display Screen Just Right

(in German)

This brochure will help you choose the most suitable glasses for working at a display screen and optimize the positioning of your screen to match your eyewear, individual visual needs, and body dimensions. A well-adjusted workstation can help prevent visual strain, eye fatigue, and tension or pain in the neck, shoulders, and back.

Employees who wear glasses may sometimes experience difficulties when working at display screens. If the workstation, glasses, and screen position are not properly aligned, or if individual requirements are not adequately considered, this can lead to health problems. This BAuA guidance supports you in coordinating these factors effectively, thereby improving both your health and overall well-being.

This brochure is intended primarily for employees who work with display screens and for managers responsible for ensuring healthy working conditions. It is also relevant for professionals from various scientific and technical fields who provide expert advice on this topic, including occupational physicians, opticians, ophthalmologists, occupational safety and health specialists, and ergonomics consultants
