Abstrakt: Results from three surveys of almost 200 computer workers are described. An initial survey asked about office lighting and screen glare problems, and results served as a baseline. A second survey was conducted about one-month after two thirds of the workers received a grounded, glass screen glare filter, the rest served as a control group. The final survey was conducted about one month after the remaining control group workers received their screen glare filters. Measures of illuminance and screen luminance contrast were taken at 117 workstations. Results showed that various screen image attributes and visual health measures were substantially improved with the screen glare filter. The filter minimized electrostatic shocks to workers. Most workers liked the screen glare filter and reported improved productivity.
