Hi Steph
I agree, I tend to try to eliminate glare by reducing brightness, removing reflections on the screen, by repositioning or fitting suitable blinds etc. I think anti-glare screens should only be used when all else fails. I think sometimes an employee perceives that this is what is required so it works because they believe it will,(Placebo effect) Or is that me being sceptical..
Regards
Rebecca Eaton

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] The effectiveness of anti - glare screens in reducing headaches and other symptoms
Hi all
I am trying to find research with respect to the above. I rarely
recommend this device and
always try to reduce the effect of luminance/glare by risk assessing
the environment. If there
is a suggestion of a perceived related health issue e.g headaches/
migraines in association with this
i tend to review after a period of the adjustment to assess
effectiveness.
However, I would like to find out everyones opinions and practices
with respect to the above subject
and if there is any research out there that disproves/approves their
effectiveness.
Thanks
Steph
