General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Several hours at a screen can cause visual fatigue, including discomfort or dry eyes.

INRS distinguishes this discomfort from eye diseases: screen use alone does not establish their cause.

Identify reflections, lighting and difficulty reading characters to discuss during the workstation assessment.

Adjusting the display and screen position forms part of measures tailored to the task and person.

Work organisation should allow alternating tasks or suitable breaks, including looking away from the screen.

Describe difficulties to occupational health services; adjusting the workstation does not replace advice about persistent discomfort.
