It's also known as work-related upper limb disorder, or non-specific upper limb pain.

It's important to work in a comfortable environment which has been appropriately adjusted. Your employer has a legal duty to try to prevent work-related RSI and ensure anyone who already has the condition doesn't get any worse.

One health issue that can occur after using computers for a long time is eye-strain (tiredness of the eyes).

This is caused by looking at a monitor which is a constant distance away. The muscles that focus your eyes do not move, and so get tired and painful and it can cause your vision to blur. Eye-strain can also cause headaches.

How can we prevent it :

  • Make sure the screen is clear of dust.
  • Take regular breaks.
  • Use an anti-glare screen.
  • Have eyes tested regularly.
- Mahajuba 

A symptom of eye stain is that your eyes may become red.
