First, you should consider proper positioning. Your posture contributes a lot to your body condition. You may feel a lot of ache and pain in various spots of your body if you don't sit properly. Moreover, improper posture leads to back ache and neck ache as well. To be able to sit well, select a comfortable and adjustable chair which provides support to your back curve. You should be able to sit upright with relaxed shoulders. Your elbows, hips, and knees should be angled at about 90? and both your feet should be firm on the floor. You can also place yourself on a foot rest comfortable for you. Your forearms should also be parallel to the ground. It's also important that you develop keyboard skills so that you won't need to bend your head often when searching for keys on the keyboard. Your wrists should be in a relaxed posture when you use the mouse.
As for eye strain, this seems to be a commonality among most computer users. Your eyesight may gradually become poor as you continue to use your computer for long hours daily. To avoid eye strain, avoid looking at the screen at a very short distance. An arm's length will do. The screen should be bright enough and if possible, you can put an anti-glare filter to avoid reflections which makes it more difficult to view the screen. Additionally, it's very important to give your eyes a rest every once in a while. Spend about 10-15 minutes every hour resting your eyes by closing them or looking at anything green, especially plants, so that your eye muscles can be active.
As what has been mentioned earlier, having regular breaks is very important. While taking a break, you can stand up, do some stretching or basic exercise so that your neck, shoulder, wrist, and whole body can move actively. It's vital for your blood to get flowing in order to decrease the stress imposed on your joints and limbs. Check yourself for any signs of too much stress or fatigue. If you feel tired enough, it would be better to stop whatever you're doing, take a rest, and resume once you feel better.
Through these simple ways, you can feel much better while using your computer.
