Suffering From Eye Fatigue? Eye fatigue is not entirely preventable, but you can avoid some of the strain by controlling your lighting conditions.

Experts say the ideal environment is an evenly lit, all-whiteroom with no windows. While that may be hard to achieve, there arethings you can do to improve your lighting.

  • Wall scones direct light upward creating a uniform plane ofbrightness on the ceiling that then reflects down to the worksurface.
