He's just a worker from Homer who is susceptible to eye strain, eye pain, and dizziness. In the linked post, Russell shares what he's learned about optimizing home lighting to reduce eye strain. Here's the quick list. 1. An even, diffused lighting environment is the best for the eyes. Two, when it comes to light brightness, too much is just as problematic as too little.

Three, use natural light wherever possible. Four, quality of artificial light matters. Five, the best lighting for camera is not necessarily the best lighting for ergonomics. And six, even the perfect lighting environment will fatigue you. Take breaks. and take care of yourself.
