Eye strain and occupational over use syndrome are common injuries experienced by people who spend extended hours at computer or other monitor based terminals.  WorkSafe BC, the WorkCover authority in British Columbia, Canada, has produced a computer prompt to remind computer workers to regularly stretch and refocus the eyes.  The Alliance recommends news workers and editors have a look at it and see if it will be of benefit to them.
