As well as this, poor lighting combined with the effect digital screens can have can exacerbate existing problems with your eyes, such as cataracts and problems with the retinae.
Luxury desk lamps are a solution to this problem that can be more effective than ceiling lighting, so long as you choose the right one.

A desk lamp can help to reduce some of the glare and issues with contrast, by allowing the screen to run at a lower brightness setting, as well as stop the eyes from focusing on a particularly bright or glaring screen.
