Assessment of display screen equipment

This course was very informative, it has made me more aware that's it's not just about looking at a computer screen. It has made me realise that my overall posture with the importance of doing micro eye exercises in order to be more productive will ultimately make me feel less stressed and fatigued during my workday.

Its really helpful.

I really enjoyed this course, because there are very informative lessons for us in our daily working healthy life. I really appreciate my company to provide me this course.
