Keep the eyes moving smoothly
The eyes should move from the screen to the text and back without drama. If the eye movement feels jerky, your focus may be splitting between the text and the keyboard more often than necessary.
A calm visual pattern reduces strain and supports better concentration.
Let the body support the eyes
If your screen is too low or your posture is slouched, the eyes and neck often work harder than they need to. Small setup changes can make the reading and typing experience more comfortable.
That comfort helps your attention stay with the task instead of drifting into fatigue.
