Ooop's, all very well having the latest kit but, what do you know about "Product Safety", exposure control or operational risks ?
Making presumptions or assumptions still makes fools of all of us unless we sustain the ethos of "caveat-emtor" (buyer beware) in the 21st Century, as for ever, "stupid is as stupid does" - hahaha
Vision stress, eye-strain, blurred or worse double vision, eye and headaches, migraine, dizziness, nausea, visual repetitive stress injuries or monocular adaptation identified, in case you missed it, as a Global Public Health Pandemic by the WHO in 2016 reported in their "International Classification of Diseases", 10th revision.
Eye-strain was something limited to early ancient scribes for administrators, academic scholars and calligrapher's copying scrips, only in the middle ages, Dante' (1265-1321) coined the word "Asthenopia" as a heading for the repetitive stress injuries caused by vision stress from over-exposure to the near or close-up resulting in monocular adaptations now adopted by the WHO as, a generic heading for the range of visual deficits presenting from "vision suppression" mostly ending up in 2D vision or blind.
The human body and mind is not and has not ever been immune to stress, fatigue and injury when we decide to carry-on regardless of the warning signs of discomfort, pain and dysfunction well past the point where good quality sleep restores or can rehabilitate impaired function of injured, damaged muscles and/or systems.
Self-inflicted repetitive stress injuries to our muscles often require treatment through "very light duties" and, time to heal if, they are to recover function fully with greater stamina and/or strength.
Since, sort of for ever, eye-muscles exercises have been prescribed for the most common 2D deficits from, eye-patching the dominant eye, pencil push-ups, Brock-String or whatever is the opticians favourite all the way to "cosmetic surgery" that will improve the alignment of the eyes but, do little to restore Binocular 3D vision.

However, toward the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st Century light or "colour therapy providing optima stimulus" for the visual system has been found to promote self-rehabilitation of "repetitive-stress related adaptations" significantly reducing the eye-strain from over-exposure to the near or close-up linked to our increasingly in-door life-styles too often including prolonged periods on-screen in poor day or work lighting especially, over the last year or so in lockdown, isolation or working from home.
Nevertheless, 2018 website and in 2019 we saw the release of "Global Accessibility Regulations" to mitigate the predictable "Product Safety" hazard or risk of display screen use or operation, vision stress, Computer Vision Syndrome or Screen Fatigue.

We may not be able to improve the environment in which you use or operate your equipment but, we can enabled "Digital Literacy" in teenagers and mitigate the risks for 58% of operators in the workplace, be that at home or in the new Hybrid office and compliance with the "DSE Accessibility Regulations".
